Regarding the IDE's, you can use any IDE or even an editor to code. No one forces you to (And if someone does, it's probably bad leadership). IntelliJ and certainly also Eclipse are very powerful tools. That requires a lot of RAM. So if you don't need all those features, go and use vim, emacs, VSCode or whatever you like.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
