I do both Java and C# and I have been very disappointed in Visual Studio. There have been times when my whole machine slows to a crawl as VS does... something. In my opinion, IntelliJ IDEA provides a better experience then Visual Studio.

When my work becomes more .Net Core heavy, I look forward to putting Visual Studio to the side and spending more time with IntelliJ Rider.

We always used Eclipse because it was free and pretty solid. Never used IntelliJ. Used Netbeans and the windows hotkeys for copy and paste didn't work in it so I was done almost immediately. Also, the merge preview feature for svn and git was command line which was a joke.
