Well I've got it on a dedicated server, so it runs much faster because it's on a beast of a server, especially for compile times. It can track developer edits, and the need of merging is mitigated by real time collaborative editing, so if I wanted to, I can watch my programmers coding in real time and jump in if I want. Handling support requests and issues, I just built a tool for that and because Ché is web based, it's easy enough just to add links to files that are being tracked. The other magic trick it can do is spool up testing environments / containers / vm on the fly. That's more useful in practice than I thought it would be. It's super flexible, it's community strength is low/medium. If you're dumb like me, you can use it to edit itself in a separate container, and if you're modifications are good, migrate the modified source and it's live.
For the bad:
It's very resource intensive.
Installation/configuration nightmare.
Modifications are difficult.
It's one of those things I poked with a stick for a year before using it.
For my purposes though, we mostly build algorithms and backends, for that it's great.
IntelliJ.. wow haven't heard that name in a while.
