JetBrains / Microsoft - A-Z

At JetBrains, we have a passion for making people more productive through smart software solutions that help them focus more on what they really want to accomplish, and less on mundane, repetitive "computer busy work".

As veteran Java developers, we felt bogged down by even the best tools we could find back in 2000. So we set out to build ourselves something better. From those first efforts came IntelliJ IDEA, which has been consistently honored with our industry's top awards. That's exciting of course, but what's even better is that Java developers the world over continue to tell us that IntelliJ IDEA is simply the best and the most innovative IDE they have ever used. Its unprecedented refactoring support, intelligent coding assistance, and overall usability have helped thousands of developers to shed much of the traditional drudgery of coding, improve their productivity and code quality, and enjoy the craft of programming more.
