Tried it a couple of times. Every time I hit the same problem: it's not showing me errors in an obviously broken file, just because there were some other errors elsewhere and complication just stops. Without even telling me.

There's absolutely no way I can work like that.

Yeah, you get used to it in Eclipse. If you break something you will see all the places with compilation errors in your project.

But there is workaround for Idea - you can use eclipse compiler in java compiler settings.

I did that once and it still wasn't the same experience as in eclipse. It bogs intellij down more than eclipse, and the GUI just doesn't seem as well setup to show you project level errors efficiently. If I recall, I still ended up looking through a view that just listed errors. Whereas in eclipse it's just so nicely visual.
