I've been using PyCharm for 2 years now and I love it. I am thinking of buying WebStorm, as the web app I work on has gotten a lot more JS heavy. Would I be better off getting IntelliJ and getting plugins for it, or having PyCharm and WebStorm separately? This has an impact down the road when I have to renew licences!

Is there a reason you need Webstorm? From what I have tried to find, Pycharm includes Webstorm features and any missing features (Node.js) can be downloaded as a plugin.

Do you know any specific feature that you are looking for that is not in Pycharm? I am in a similar situation and was wondering the same.

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.

I'm not using any proxy service, but was just taken to the Czech version of the site. At the bottom of the prices page "Purchases from Czech Republic are charged in EUR. If you are not from Czech Republic, please select your country", unfortunately, the United States isn't on the list. So I'd say they're more than slow at the moment.

killer feature being it doesn't crash every 15 minutes!

I've used Xcode for C programming. It's great for that on a mac, esepcially since debugging is built in and I don't have to turn to DDD all the time. And so far it's only crashed about 3-4 times during the 6-8 months I was using it pretty much daily.

I downloaded a trial of PhpStorm last week, and loaded an old CodeIgniter project into it. The app flagged objects, methods, and variables that were created in other files as "undefined." I could see how that would be helpful under other circumstances, but does anyone know if PhpStorm is set up to play nice with most PHP frameworks? Also: For smaller projects, is there any advantage to buying a Python IDE over just u…

I have been using PhpStorm for a Symfony2 project since 2-3 months and the integration is very good.

PHPStorm plays nice when any framework. The issue it's going to have is when Frameworks do not clearly document, or when they make bad decisions about things. You can, of course turn off different levels of inspections to account for the project you are working on. However, I've found that for the most part, if PHPStorm is flagging something like "undefined method," it's essentially saying "you are hoping that this works as expected." It's a form of static analysis.

I'm not surprised that an old CodeIgniter project flagged these issues.

As for vi, I use vi every day as well. I switch between that and PHPStorm. It depends on the context that I'm in. Both are wonderful tools. But I can assure you, auto-complete is a basic feature of PHPStorm. It's akin to 'set nu'.

Edit: This comment comes off as a bit snarky. It's not intended to be. I think JetBrains and it's line of products are excellent, and I've only ever had good experiences with them. I wouldn't want my comment to reflect poorly on them.

In case you're not able to get through right now: The offer is valid until Friday, 21 December 2012, 5:11 am CST (GMT-6)

I'm inclined to believe (if they want to be nice to their customers) that they'll extend the offer if the site remains unavailable like it is right now for the next 24 hours.
