There are new things coming in 3.1.x like the Crash Log Viewer, and even today, I doubt you have access to the app type template and the barrel template, and I'm sure there are more I take for granted…

The plugin is eclipse specific. So no.

If you really want you could invoke the command line compiler from within intellij but that would not come close to the features you have available in the eclipse env (debugger, run no evil, etc)

Yes, it's possible.

There is Intellij plugin named 'Monkey C'. It's not maintained, but still works for IJ 2019.1 CE.

Works:

* syntax highlighing/checking (except byte arrays)

* compiling

* running simulator

* editing settings

Does not work:

* Debugging

* Symbols navigation (well, it works, but strange)

* Preparing production build (in iq format)

For me, it's ok for developing, but i'm afraid plugin compatibility will be broken eventually.
