It gets easier and easier. I have been a full-time Linux user since 2007 and was using a Mac for about 5 years at work (still Linux at home). I then had a much better Mac that I used for everything for about three months before migrating back to Linux.

This last migration - partly from my old Linux laptop and partly from the Mac - went really quickly and without challenge. Almost everything works out of the box and I just copy my settings as part of the migration. I was surprised how easy it all was and how quickly it went.

I don't use IntelliJ so cannot comment, but I do use Emacs and that works for pretty much everything.
