I pay for every upgrade simply for the support. A few times a year I get stuck on something; mere minutes after filing a support ticket, I have a resolution. They've got this guy "Serge" who must be locked in a room somewhere doing support because he always solves my issues within minutes. Amazing.

Are you kidding, you need support for an IDE?

Look, Intellij is the Emacs of IDEs. If you've not used it you have no idea of its depth. I've written plugins [1] for it, so I'm not an idiot. I regularly use it for Java, Scala, Clojure and Ruby, so yeah, sometimes it's worth paying someone to sort out issues for you.

I can't begin to describe how much I love IntelliJ. I sometimes use eclipse or visual studio, but no one does IDE's like JetBrains. The best thing about Visual Studios is ReSharper. If you are a VS guy go buy the VS ReSharper Wrapper from JetBrains.

Since there seem to be some IntelliJ folks here, I'd like to bring up my pet peeve: please take advantage of modern, gigantic _wide_ monitors. It makes no sense for code to be in a single column on the left of the monitor while 2/3 of the right side is almost completely empty space. Instead of just allowing vertical scrolling, why not allow multiple columns and horizontal scrolling? This will result in the ability to…

Open the context menu for a tab by right-clicking it, select "Split Vertically", and you'll have two columns for tabs.

Yes, but it's a PITA to move buffers between the panes. No drag and drop? Horrible.

I'm still looking forward to the 'Sublime Text'-like column mode selection feature[1], currently the top voted feature request, which will be an excellent addition to IntelliJ. Unfortunately it looks like we'll have to wait until version 14 for this. [1] - http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-80056

with jetbrains folks in here it would be nice to get a comment from them on this. Even just something that says its not coming would be better than no response at all. I love intellij, but sublime multi cursors would be a huge performance improvement. Right now I keep idea, sublime and notepad++ open most of the day.

C/C++ IDE, try subscribe to preview: http://www.jetbrains.com/objc/features/cpp.html

Since moving to OS X fully I've become a real fan of Xcode. I'm curious to see how AppCode is when you can actually write Objective-C++ in it. I'm a fan of IDEA, but I'm a little skeptical of this (as AppCode right now isn't as nice as Xcode anyway).

What do you miss most in AppCode from your XCode experience?

I've been using IntelliJ IDEA for many years (coming from C++ in EMACS), and it truly made me more productive: http://henrikwarne.com/2012/06/17/programmer-productivity-em...

Besides IDEA what else have you used as a real IDE?

I haven't used any other IDEs really, so it is possible there are even better IDEs, but the step from Emacs to IDEA was huge (but of course it was also a switch from C++ to Java).

Editor-wise it's Emacs and Vim (for the past year or so).

What's your experience with IDEs?

You can drag and drop but it's a bit picky - grab the file tab and drop it in the other pane's tabstrip.

Definitely something that could be improved (as well as splitting to two panes gives you 2 panes of the same file..)

I worked with Pivotal for a little bit and learned some keyboard shortcuts for splitting windows and moving tabs from one to the other.

It's definitely possible.
