Jetty

Experiences
Pros

Top
Pro
Simplicity
Because Jetty is built by an assembly of simple components it is very easy to work with. Where possible, features are added by aggregation of components rather than creation of complex deep/optional APIs Assembly and configuration can be done by the java API, the jetty XML configuration file, which is an IOC style mapping of XML to POJO APIs, other IOC/component frameworks such as Spring and Plexus, OSGi activators, and other XML to POJO mappings such as XBeans All APIs are public which has resulted in all of the Jetty code being very well maintained and easily understood.
See More
Top
Pro
Embedded mode
A Jetty instance can be spawned entirely from Java code (without an external installation or config files), making it a very handy companion for unit/integration tests, conditional/temporary server spawning, and the like.
See More
Top
Pro
Flexibility
Jetty was not designed to be an application server, rather it was built from the ground up to be a collection of components that provide HTTP and servlet services. This results in Jetty being very flexible as well as the following benefits: Very simple to extend and/or replace components with customized behavior. The integration of Jetty into development tools like maven can be very flexible as the components that control the layout of a webapp can be updated to run an unassembled application from source rather than an assembled WAR. Very easy to remove features that are not being used to save on memory and CPU costs. Due to this flexibility Jetty can be used in the following use cases: A stand-alone traditional web server for static and dynamic content A dynamic content server behind a dedicated HTTP server such as Apache using mod_proxy or mod_jk An embedded component within a java application As a component to build an application server or Java EE server For a full list of software powered by Jetty go here.

Supports multiple languages
DataGrip is not a language-specific IDE. It supports a wide variety of languages by default, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Derby, H2, Sqlite, and many more. You can also specify your own JDBC drivers to get support for additional platforms.
See More
Top
Con
Performance can be slow/sluggish when working with high-volume databases
As with all other IDEs, DataGrip is powerful and thus requires more resources than usual. It can use up to several GB's of memory when working with high-volume databases, and this has an impact on performance if your system is not equipped to handle it.
See More
Top

Much more powerful than its counterparts
DataGrip is a full-featured IDE for working with databases and SQL. It includes commonly found features in database clients, and offers IDE-specific features beyond that — version control, autocompletion, refactoring support, etc.

Not user friendly
For incompetent users that do not have any idea what they are doing this, and any similar product will not seem user friendly. For nearly everyone else this is yet another amazing IDE from the JetBrains family; a must have!

Powerful data editor
A powerful data editor lets you add, remove, edit, and clone data rows. Navigate through the data by foreign keys and use the text search to find anything in the data displayed in the table editor.
