Mixing MCreator and "normal" programing in an IDE

Hello! 
I am making a mod for my brother and friends. I used some posts on this website for help when making custom music discs (which helped a lot). 
I just just realized that MCreator is not just a form website and MCreator and a program (lol).


I am now wondering what are the benefits/cons of programming in Mcreator vs an IDE (IntelliJ)? (there isn't an actual review of the software!) 

And is there a way of exporting Mcreator to a project file for an IDE or "raw" files that I can put in the project folder (so you can maybe just to a bit like dimensions in MCreator or something)? and is there away to import the opposite?
 

Thanks!

MCreator projects are Gradle…

MCreator projects are Gradle projects / Eclispe projects. So it is possible to develop mods with MCreator and eg. IDEA or Eclipse at the same time.

This is in fact how some of the contributors test things and implement new features.
