It is not, that's what I'm saying. And I don't understand why, if IntelliJ is the de-facto IDE. I'm sure that a fresh project is a one-click import, but an average project that isn't fresh anymore, always have similar IDE-setup-magic problems. At least in my experience over the years.

I code in Java, Scala and Python using an IDE just because I like to not remember the documentation to the code.

I know plenty of people who don't use a formal IDE. This "I don't use an IDE" is a stupid flex.

Me too, that's why I have vim setup with language-servers. I get inline type info, code completion and so on.

It's not a flex, simply a matter of preference: I find using the mouse too irritating, others prefer it because it's simpler.

But that's not my gripe, my gripe is that setting up IntelliJ, the one defacto standard IDE to actually work is some voodoo ritual of a dozen steps and restarts and so on.
