Not only are project files not portable between IDEs, they're not portable within the same IDE.

Project files contain very specific information about directory locations, selected options, libraries and the like. Move a project even to a different hard drive on the same computer, much less to another machine, much, much less to a different IDE, and things break.
That hasn't been my experience, as long as everything is relative to the project file. At least with IntelliJ IDEA.

That's a point in favor of IDEA, I suppose.

I'm still recommending that moving projects between directories happen only through VC, for all the other reasons that apply.

In addition, that lets teammates use their own choice for IDE.
