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.

Every Ruby user I know personally that's tried RubyMine loves it; from total beginners to experts (myself included).

Note that IntelliJ effectively includes both RubyMine and PHPStorm (+ PyCharm); it's the better choice if you're wanting both.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

you could just purchase IDEA and install python/ruby/c++ plugins for free

If there is one thing they learn from this sale, it's that no one seems to understand what IDEA is, and how each product relates to each other!

Is it true that there's no difference between IDEA with plugins and PyCharm, etc? I haven't used these products before so have no idea and I've heard a few people saying similar things.

The Mayans took an obsidian axe to their e-commerce server early. The contract I'm on doesn't have an escape clause for apocalypses, so I'm gonna need that software soon.

Do we have any feedback for the problem from Jetbrains?

We're on it. Trust us. We're on it.

Can someone chime in with how Pycharm compares to Komodo Edit - or maybe just if you've had a positive/negative experience with Pycharm? I'm starting to get a little frustrated with Komodo, and I remember liking a very brief Pycharm demo I tried a few years back, but I'd love to hear an HNer's opinion if you happen to use it day to day. It seemed to have a pretty good reputation back then, but one of the concerns I h…

What about WingIDE? Does it make sense to switch to PyCharm?

IMO not, I personally like WingIDE more but I am using PyCharm on OSX as it is better integrated and has a better virtualenv support. You can always just try PyCharm for free

I've tried switching to Intellij from Eclipse a few times, but it's just too different and I don't feel like the UI is all that great. This is a great deal but I just don't see the justification to buy Intellij.

As someone whose lived in both environments, I can assure you that Intellij is far more intelligent in every single respect. I haven't done much RCP development so can't speak on that front, but in terms of JavaEE or web, there's no comparison.
