bin/pycharm.sh ERROR: Cannot start PyCharm No JDK found. Please validate either PYCHARM_JDK, JDK_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment variable points to valid JDK installation. I wish this had been mentioned up front, before I spent all that time watching videos and such. :/ Nothing against java per se, just that it's a giant runtime/security-surface that has no bearing on my Python work. I'm still happy with Geany, gvfs, m…

Same here, though I've been following JetBrains for a while. I wish there was some way they could port it to OS X without depending on Java.

There is no way they would 'port' away from Java. JetBrains has been building this platform for more than a decade. This is what has allowed them to support many operating systems concurrently and with great results. No need for the FUD on Java. Java is really what they excel at.

I just created a model from a table with over 20 columns. A few days ago I had to hardcode a list of settings I screenscraped into a JS array in the Chrome console. You can't refactor things like that.

For those sorts of things I think it's completely reasonable to drop into emacs, vim or sublime and then just copy paste back into your primary IDE. When it's a text editing operation that you're trying to do (as opposed to a defined transformation on valid source) then it makes sense to use a text editor. I keep emacs and intellij open usually.

I usually have the files open in both the IDE and in sublime. Any program worth its salt will be able to cope with me changing in another program and reload the changes.

Does this mean that the PHP, Ruby, and Obj-C versions will be seeing community editions soon as well?

No, this is very unlikely. (JetBrains CTO here, by the way.)

Will the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA work in the community edition?

If you are a Vim fan, try using IdeaVim plugin with PyCharm. Plugins can be installed directly from the in-IDE plugin library.

I tried to like IdeaVim, but simple things like undo/redo were broken by the mix of vim and intellij shortcuts. When even the basics don't work...

This is a known problem. The multiple undo actions per single 'u' command bug has been fixed recently. The updated version of IdeaVim will be released soon. We have been working on making IdeaVim more stable, see the changelog https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/blob/master/CHANGES.md.

The .exe download is blocked at the office. Is there a .zip version available? I also assume the installer doesn't require administrative privileges... Am I right?

There doesn't appear to be a .zip version. They have zip versions of the Intellij so they may add it if you do a feature request. The installer only requires admin to install to the Program Files. If you say no, it installs to your local user location (in Roaming).

Most cases where you'd need multi-selection you can likely use Refactor in an IntelliJ IDE.

I just created a model from a table with over 20 columns. A few days ago I had to hardcode a list of settings I screenscraped into a JS array in the Chrome console. You can't refactor things like that.

You should.

But there is also column selection mode.

I'm fairly new to the Python world but I've been using PyCharm for a couple months now and it is absolutely amazing. JetBrains makes really great products, I've been a huge fan of IntelliJ IDEA (Java) for a few years now - converted many die hard Eclipse users over to it, and they never looked back.

I agree. I've been using IDEA since early 2005. I am currently working on a project that requires me to use Eclipse, and it's almost unusable.

Retraining the brain is difficult in almost any facet. I tried switching keyboard layouts once, suffice it to say I've reverted to ye olde QWERTY.

JetBrains has actually open sourced the complete IntelliJ Community Edition IDE/platform: see http://www.jetbrains.org/display/IJOS/Home and https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community Incredible!

Furthermore, they are working on a cross-platform C++ IDE (hopefully using Clang for parsing): http://www.jetbrains.com/objc/features/cpp.html . I can't wait for the release.

does this mean that it will be an intellij plugin (similar to the way pycharm is - as far as i can tell - intellij + the python plugin)? i hope so - it's frustrating being a (paid!) intellij user without c support.
