Out of curiosity, why such discrepancy between the price to US vs EU customers?

I just tweeted @JetBrains with the same question. 37 USD becomes 35 EURO(as opposed to ~25 EURO with more up to date currency convert). It's a pity because if I got USD equivalent pricing, I was planning on buying more of their products for stacks I just want to play around with(RubyMine, IntelliJ)

Pretty much the same as. $50 converts to ~£31 or ~€38 rather than the €47 currently charged (all ex-VAT / Sales Tax). I was planning on buying a few different products but I just don't appreciate being charged more for an electronic product because of where I live, 75% sale or not. Now it might be that European card processing fees are higher than the US but certainly not €10 worth on a €38 transaction.

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). 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 indeterminat…

The license key delivery isn't instantaneous. I got my keys about 5 minutes after getting the payment confirmation.

5 minutes is good, it took an hour for my Resharper key. And that was a few weeks ago.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Yeah, you can get a free 30 day trial of the "premium" IDEs, and you can enter in your license information at any point during the trial in the IDE itself.

This is correct and I believe the delivery of the license key can take from minutes up to 2 business days from ordering.

Do these have Emacs key bindings? I primarily code in Ruby and Javascript, should I buy those individually or get IDEA and find plugins?

Yes and even some plugins to make it even more emacsy, like a kill ring and a rip-off (although a pale one) of "ace-jump-mode" (itself inspired from a vi(m) feature).

Sadly Emacs is just so much more than the sum of its keybindings and the kill ring.

Honestly there isn't a single "text editor" that comes anywhere near close what one million of elisp code are doing. The only ones that comes close are the thousands of $$$ fancy Lisp editors which aren't for mere-mortals.

So, yes, "IntelliJ the IDE" rocks and it can mimicks Emacs shortcuts but, no, "IntelliJ the text editor" doesn't come anywhere close to Emacs :-/

Just like Light Table shall never come anywhere close to what Emacs can do. Just like Eclipse won't either, etc.

No IIRC there was at least one person interested in porting eclim (a client / server allowing to use vim as Eclipse's text editor) and emacs-eclim (same but for Emacs) to IntelliJ.

It makes a lot of sense and I'm pretty sure it's going to be the ultimate IDE at one point: and IDE as powerful as IntelliJ but allowing to "plug in" your text editor of choice (vim, emacs, Sublime Text 2, etc.).

Yep, sorry about that guys and gals, we're working on getting this fixed ASAP.

I was just able to check out. So things are coming back up!

Me too. Long delay for 'processing payment' at element5, but it did go through.
