All their server issues must mean they are dealing with unprecedented demand. It makes me wonder: When demand is THIS intense for a 75% off sale, you think it'd mean a more optimal "normal" price point would be at 25-50% off your current normal prices, wouldn't you?
Just bought PyCharm and WebStorm - any idea when I'll get my download link? Really keen to start using these tonight.
Out of curiosity, why such discrepancy between the price to US vs EU customers?

I think you can go ahead and download them, you'll get a license later on that you can then apply. Someone please correct me if Im wrong.
You know what would make this a really awesome sale? If we could just buy it all for an even bigger discount.
With the exception of reShaper, YouTrack, and the Obj-C environment, I think that's called IntelliJ…

AppCode has been a wonderful tool for me. I have been using it since the EAP of 1.0. If you've used IntelliJ IDEA before you will feel very comfortable here. The refactorings are great and only getting better. The debugger and the ability to inspect variables much more easily that in Xcode is awesome. I just recently renewed my support on AppCode and I could have saved some cash, but the tool is so inexpensive as it…
Any major limitations of using IDEA with Ruby and Python plugins, versus RubyMine + PyCharm? I prefer the idea of a single extensible IDE, but can't figure out the tradeoffs by reading the descriptions.
Here's an old doc from JetBrains about RubyMine and Intellij IDEA: http://devnet.jetbrains.net/docs/DOC-1146
Tried a second time to pay with PayPal, which accepts the transaction: however the confirmation page displays an error, saying to contact sales, and the form to contact sales ends up throwing up another error.
Now my credit card payment is in a indeterminate state, while the PayPal payment got through but I wasn't given a license key and there does not seem to be a reliable way to get one.
Luckily I still have my license for the previous IntelliJ version, it looks like I will use it for quite a while.
Now the situation is even worse: I've been able to get to the ordering page, only to be rejected by their payment provider (which is probably overloaded as well).

It is because the offer plays to our human nature. We perceive we are getting something worth 4 times the value but fear that if we do not act now we will lose it forever. The fact that the servers are going down and people are excited by the offer also means that we will feel left out if we do not do what our fellow humans have validated as a good choice. If they offered the product at a cheaper price normally, they…
I've been using IntelliJ since version 4 or so and before the free/community edition and commercial edition divide I have to admit I was poor and did use the crack. Then came the free version and I could use IntelliJ without being a pirate and without buying it.
The commercial version has a few niceties (code coverage, dependency structure matrix, better JavaScript support etc.) that I was missing but I wasn't exactly willing to pay 200 Euros for these yet: not that I didn't have the money but more out of lazyness and thinking "bah, I don't really need these, 200 Euros for that is a bit steep".
Now at 47 Euros I'm falling for it.
That's it: after nearly ten years of using IntelliJ (including both years and years using the free version and years and years using cracked version), I'm eventually buying it.
So I don't think it's just appealing to people who've never used it and think: "hey, that's x/4 instead of x, let's buy this thing, it's a bargain" in the same way that women loves "sales".
I think there are quite some people who've always been wanting the additional features but weren't quite willing to put 200 Euros for it.
Plus there's the doomsday thinggy: it's going to be cool to remember that that one software I bought it on what was supposed to be the last day on earth ; )
