Same for me. Our codebase at work is roughly similar in size, 
mostly Java/Groovy with small components written in C++ and Go. 
It's actually really nice how easy it is to navigate the Java 
code in IntelliJ - only once have I had an issue finding where 
some old functionality was implemented, and that was because the 
code was loading classes at runtime from another module with 
nothing to indicate the connection between it and that module. 
When I think about trying to trace the flow of execution through 
a big D project, most of which I didn't write, that makes heavy 
use of metaprogramming... I think it would be far more painful.
