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.

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)

Not sure if it counts as an IDE, but emacs has follow-mode which does this.

Interestingly enough Xcode tried that as well, and its had mixed reviews.

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).

Xcode makes me cry everytime i'm forced to use it (editing storyboards).

AppCode has such nice navigation and completion.

It all makes me wonder how on earth anyone could say they enjoy xcode.

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…

Or rotate your wide-screen monitor by 90 degrees

I recently bought one of those large Korean monitors (2560x1440). Even with 90 degree notation, I can easily fit two columns of code on screen (well, there is space for two columns, no IDE actually does this)

Great--now when can we get decent font rendering for IDEA in Linux? The Swing rendering is horrible.

As I understand it, this issue is around for a very long time. The irony is that many developers choose Eclipse over IDEA or Netbeans, because Eclipse is the only IDE of the major trio that doesn't have this problem.

Great update, but still no support for Java 7 only in OS X. :(

You can edit the Info.plist file (you probably already know this!) to get the IDE to launch under JDK 7 in OS X.

A recent EAP release actually had a bundled JDK 1.7 for OS X, although it seems the final version's download doesn't have it

I take that you mean running IntelliJ under Java 7? JDK 7 and 8 work fine for development!

Exactly. I should've mentioned that. You can't run IDEA with only Oracle JRE 7. You need to install Apple's JRE 6 too.

I think it has to do with retina display support in the Oracle JRE 7.

I remember searching for retina display stuff in JDKs and saw a post from the people from JetBrains post differences between the JDK 6 from Apple and JDK 7 from Oracle. It was also a very informative post as well.
