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?

Another thing a sale like this does is increases future potential revenue. Folks that buy the product at this reduced price could get "hooked" in using the product and therefore see the value they provide and purchase upgrades in the future. Also, after purchasing the products and using them these folks are probably more likely to recommend them to others.

They might also convince their company to buy some full-priced commercial licenses. They could end up with many new customers this way..

Earlier quoted context omitted.

"More reasonable" points exactly to what I'm talking about. If the demand for this offer is so intense their servers melt down for hours on end it seems this is pointing to a huge opportunity the rest of the year to reach all those who think 4x the current sales price (whether for the full version or the update) is "unreasonable". One data point would be myself: as a single developer, spending 100€ on AppCode never f…

It seems odd to consider 100€ unreasonable for an IDE if you are doing professional development unless it offers you no advantages whatsoever.

No kidding. Appcode paid for itself in the first day of use. Probably the best $100 I've ever spent on software.

I trust you that it's just bad planning, been waiting for hours with my CC in hand.

Current estimate to restore service: 2-3 hours.

Finally placed the order and got confirmation email. Thank you

Remember that IntelliJ have plugins that makes it have the same features as Webstorm, Phpstorm, rubymine and Pycharm, except for one feature: "Open Directory". If you get IntelliJ you must create a project in order to edit the files in a directory. :-/

Is it genuinely identical? E.g., I get Python refactoring and Django/Mako/Jinja template support directly in IntelliJ?

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?

Same opinion with mrud.

I also find PyCharm better with javascripts. WingIDE has a better debugger but I find PyCharm good enough for me.

This is something that I was also confused about. Is it exactly the same, or almost the same, and if it is not, then what are the tradeoffs? After a bit of googling I found this on PyCharm's confluence site: http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/PYH/PyCharm+vs.+Inte...

I decided to just get PyCharm, considering that I will not need Jython intergration, interface is less cluttered, and IntelliJ Python plugin does not handle Flask projects natively, whereas PyCharm does.

One other thing to consider is that If I don't need most of IntelliJ's features, paying $100 a year for updates is a bit wasteful if all that I need is covered by a $59 PyCharm renewal.
