I've used IntelliJ IDEA on Ubuntu for years and I can't remember it being actually stable at any point in time. There's always been known issues where its freezing, crashing, sometimes requiring complete re-installs. I didn't like the experience of dealing with their support. They'd tersely request me to perform tasks to help them debug (don't have the time to help them debug a commercial product), and they would blame their dependencies stating that those dependencies have known issues on my OS. Their stuff is very stable on mac, but not on Ubuntu. I still put up with the random bugs because its pretty decent overall.
