Can anyone vouch for RubyMine? Its going to be my first venture in to the language, is it a good tool to have?

I'm looking at Rubymine and PHPstorm, at these prices ill call it a Christmas present from me to me.

Unfortunately lots of other people seem to have the same idea and the site is currently bricked.

btw - personal licences only (i.e. not commercial licenses).

As I understood it a personal license is just a named license (you can still use it commercially).

The commercial license is the basic licensing model and it has the same functionality as a personal or an academic licenses. JetBrains offers discounted personal models to support private individuals. It is only the following exception, which allows you to buy a discounted personal license model: If you have to pay it out of your own pocket, you are not getting reimbursed for buying it and you do not use any company detail (company name, company address, company VAT ID) during the purchasing process.

I need pycharm student licence! is that included?

If I recall correctly, the Academic version of Idea was $100AUD, and now the personal version is only $50. I was going to buy the academic version (for PhD related development), but now I'll definitely buy the personal version.

I imagine it would be the same value for PyCharm.

Judging by how slow your site is at 7am EST, I'd say your sale is a big success :) Anyone used AppCode? I'm tempted to give it a try, but what's its killer features compared to Xcode? If refactoring works with ObjC++ that'd be a great start; worth EUR23 alone.

This article summed it up quite well for me when I was making the decision.

From their Twitter response to someone else: "Commercial license is transferable between company employees. Personal is licensed to you only."

Does anyone know how, say, IntelliJ handles Javascript? or RubyMine?

For instance, If I've got a Rails project with JS in it, do I need both WebStorm and RubyMine?

Wish there was "one IDE to rule them all!" type of thing. I don't work in just one language.

If you install the JetBrains Python plugin into IDEA you get the same functionality as PyCharm, same with Ruby.

I use PyCharm for Python & some Javascript development. Works quite well although there could be improvements in the code inspection for javascript files.

It works great for me. If I'm making just minor code tweaks or configuration changes, I stay on Xcode. Whenever I expect to do more coding, I launch AppCode.

I had already been an Intellij user for a few years before starting on iOS projects on the side. At the time, AppCode wasn't available yet, so I had no choice. The more I used Xcode, the more I lamented the lack of choice.

Once AppCode came out, I bought it right away. It's a lot more stable and usable now, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has used anything other than Xcode.

If you've been an Xcode user all your life, you don't really know any better, and that's fine, more power to you.

If you've used any other IDE before, you know the features that Xcode lacks, and AppCode is the alternative you've been hoping for.

The "one IDE to rule them all" is IntelliJ IDEA. You will get most functionality of the other IDEs via plugins: http://plugins.intellij.net/?idea
