Maybe that's because more things just work, plus there is an up to date manual? 

Regarding Golang, it's only supported in ultimate edition of IntelliJ. 

IDE is a tool for performing computer-aided manual tasks and as such I strongly believe it should not be something a critical part of development process.
Development of software must rely on automated tasks. As such the best IDE/CI/CD tools are the ones you don't really need, tons used should not rely on a central entity being a single point of failure.
A good java IDE is one that will work with Maven/Gradle, which should be the source of truth for the project build and verification. The ultimate verification happens as part of CI build which should fail for a change that violates the coding standard consensus.

I work on a pretty much vanilla IntelliJ, only adding a couple plugins to support Kotlin and Python. I remove some of Ubuntu keyboard shortcuts colliding with a standard set of IntelliJ ones. I adjust my work to comply with convention. 

For formatting we started using google java format in android flavor. IntelliJ formatter is a inferior tool compared to Eclipse one which cannot be automated either. With the formatter plugin, a prepared config is needed for imports and the outcome is consistent with the one of maven/gradle plugins which can also do automated formatting from command line.

I liked eclipse, but I adjusted to my work and can't be bothered switching back until I need to adjust to another work, hopefully never again. 

I consider customising a waste of time.

What happened to the unopinionated old me?

Who cares? This comment is fantastic.

Good to know! I am now wishing I had done more research and asked you for your "unopinion". :)
