That's really unfair comparison. IntelliJ and Chrome are more complex piece of software.

That's just absurd.

An IDE or a browser have a huge number of failure points.

Just starting up initiates large numbers of complex operations, file I/O, processing, database, graphics, platform specific operations, what not. They are in a way OS of their own.

Comparing a CLI application, that's scope is tiny compared to a full-blown IDE or a browser, is absurd!
