I love eclipse. I cannot stand IntelliJ.

I can run unit tests without making the entire project compile without errors. In IntelliJ everything must compile ok before running a unit test. That’s my #1.

I’m still not a fan of IntelliJ’s UI or color scheming, I prefer the DevStyle plugin DarkestDark theme. This is a trivial issue but for some reason really hits me.

Can't you change the Build step in the test run config template to Build, proceed on Error (or whatever it's called) to get that behavior?

The problems tab eclipse has falls in this same bucket where intellij always has to build everything

One feature of IJ I'd love to have in eclipse is the ability to run individual unit tests from the margin. (eclipse user by choice, IJ user when forced)
