I'm using IDEA for quite a while now and for me it is the best Java
IDE out there. I like it because it fun to use, suits my style of
programming (easy programming by intention, the best refactoring I
have ever seen, etc.) and generates clean java without any "magic
code".
And that's the main reason why I will NEVER use the GUI designer of
IDEA: there will be a lot of "magic code" and you have to include
some runtime library form IntelliJ in your application.
SwixML works perfectly with XML editing in IDEA, so no need to switch
to an other application for generating SwixML GUIs (maybe I will
change my mind when Franklin finally arrives - Wolf do you hear me?).
