ha! ;) LOL.  Well, could be.  I've tried to avoid the "second system"  
affect [Brooks, Mythical Man Month].  Generated recognizers are much  
faster.  Analysis is harder though, causing ANTLR to be slower, but  
at least it's not slow as hell when you type! ;)  I try to make speed  
proportional or at least related to functionality.  More power, a bit  
slower.  Surprisingly few nasty bugs reported so far after first  
release. Long beta helped I guess.  v3 is a complete rewrite so i  
can't expect to have fewer bugs.  Intellij should hopefully not  
introduce new bugs in old features.  I also suspect that we never use  
90% of the huge feature set (like Word).

That said, it's the best IDE I've ever used. :)  that's why i like  
it.  I put up with quirks to get the right functionality.
