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

It's present in PyCharm, and it's pretty cool and usefull :P

Still no support for projects on UNC paths, so not terribly useful for those forced to use folder remapping in Windows. I'd love to switch our students away from Eclipse, but without UNC support it can't happen.

You can't code on a folder on the desktop, and copy it off to network drive when done? Or better yet, push up to a git repo?

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.

I don't have intellij installed on my computer here, when you say 'split vertically,' do you mean it basically opens two views of same file next to each other, each view scrolling independently? If so, that isn't what I want -- almost every IDE and text editor already does that.

What I want is similar to how MS Word takes a single blob of text and reflows it in multiple columns.

I got my IntelliJ IDEA 12 license at the doomsday sale. I wish there were another end of the world ;)

If only ISON returned really bright in the night sky. Then we could panic, riot in the streets and get a deal on Jetbrains software.

Or rotate your wide-screen monitor by 90 degrees

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interesting idea. Don't think it's been done with an IDE before. Expanding code based on context would be cool too. (eg. second column shows the implementation of whatever the first column's cursor is on - super handy when stepping through code)

Over with Open Dylan (http://opendylan.org/), we've been building a new IDE using IntelliJ CE and it has been a joy. Even though we've gone the route of writing a whole new parser and doing new static analysis tools, it has been a pretty good experience so far. Can't say enough positive things about this.

So, Android is supported in IDEA now? Nice. It is kind of annoying having two IDEs, one for Android development and one for everything else. Edit: Badly worded. What I meant to say are the Android Studio improvements and updates are now in Ultimate, which is nice.

It's been supported "forever". I used it even before Android Studio, simply because it was better than the official Eclipse stuff.

Anyone else also have this problem? When I try to start IntelliJ 13 on OS X, I get this in system.log:

The mind-reader IDE, as we used to call it. It's sometimes scary when you create a new variable in a class and it gives you the perfect suggestion (based on what you did elsewhere in the code).

I like this, "the mind-reader IDE"

Yeah I don't think I could do .NET development anymore without ReSharper. Makes me wonder how much time I wasted by using Eclipse in my Java days instead of just forking over the cash for IDEA.
