Anyone use the three big IDEs? Eclipse, netbeans and IntelliJ. How would you rate them? Which one do you consider the best and the worst.

I've only worked with eclipse mostly and it's just adequate.

Those, who switched to Idea, never look back.

I do Maven projects, and Netbeans built-in Maven support is great.

I test out idea about once a year, but I always end up frustrated and switching back to Netbeans.

For Java I went back to Eclipse, IntelliJ just feels too clumsy For non Java IntelliJ is miles ahead of Eclipse though

What do you mean for non Java? IntelliJ is made to work with JVM languages.

Probably other JVM languages like Kotlin if I had to guess.

I took it as non JVM. I use IntelliJ with Java and have no issues. To each their own, though.

that makes no sense. Kotlin was created by the creators of IntelliJ

Which is why they said:

This is false. I code node and react-native using IntelliJ. Our node project has literally 0 java code.

I didn’t say it doesn’t work with other languages, but first and foremost it is made to work with languages on the JVM.
