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?

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.
(It's possible I'm wrong, just my observations)

I expect some of the demand is due to the fact that JetBrains releases new major versions of their products 2 or more times a year (ReSharper for example), and conveniently bundle important bug fixes into those versions instead of fixing the bugs in previous releases. So anyone who's - for example - still using ReSharper 6 will probably leap at this opportunity to finally get fixes for critical bugs in the product. N…
"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…
There are definitely a good number of people that might not consider the full price worth it, but that's why JetBrains has occasional sales around holidays, back to school, etc.

It's easy to assume that a sale price is a better year-round price, but it doesn't always work that way. Yes, there's pent up demand for the 75% off price, but the people who are buying it are the people who didn't want to buy it at full price. JetBrains has been in business for a while and must have clearly sold a LOT of licenses at full price for them to be releasing new products/versions. Flash sales like this are…
For example I bought AppCode and PyCharm today instead of waiting until Q1 of next year like I originally planned.
Am I the only one who can't stand their interfaces? It looks terribly out of place on OS X (the icons, those tabs!). I don't know why it seems every app built on Java has to look like that.
There are some nice themes in the new one, but yes it's not up to the polish of XCode. However it does work very well... Being cross platform has it's issues, see iTunes on PC? However Adobe seem to do a decent job, perhaps being a creative company helps.

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?
We're thrilled that you've come all the way here to buy our products! Thank you! However, we did not expect the load on our servers would be this high. We are working hard right now to fix the problem. Please be patient and come back in a couple of hours. There's still time... -The JetBrains Team Oh alright.
Agh, I just bought an Idea license less than a week ago!

The 'buy' part of their site is still down. Sounds like a perfect use case for the cloud...
