This bloat is a huge time saver in everyday development. It's still 
semi-working for C++ (again because it's so damn hard to parse), but for Java 
I wouldn't even think of programming without this.

(more than find, it's grep, but anyway) Because it knows nothing about the 
language syntax. You can't reliably find the usage of a method or a class 
with it (or even worse, a variable - but that doesn't work properly in CDT 
either).

Eclipse has a small drop-down menu in the search tab, which I find more 
convenient that popping plenty of search results tabs (which is one of the 
few things Idea got less right than Eclipse, usability-wise).
