I've been using the EAP for a while now, and it's been a real improvement over 12. I'd totally pay for the upgrade...and a Go IDE (hint, hint)

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?
My thought was that any IDE would've made you more productive imho. That's the point of an IDE to give you as much possible so you could focus on your tasks...

#153Since 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…
You can also move the run/debug tabs from the bottom to the right side; it gives you more vertical space for editing and a LOT more room for logs, watches, etc.

#154I love and hate Eclipse/STS, but I don't think I will ever switch to IDEA, I love my freedom more. The least I can do for open source community is to use open source products and report bugs.
If you are a professional, why not use a professional tool?
Yeah, next thing you'll tell me that real developers use only Macbooks :)
Re: IntelliJ IDEA 13 is Released
#155So I've never really understood how the products are differentiated from each other. If I bought Intellij IDEA, does that mean I can download free plugins to get the same functionality as PyCharm? Does PyCharm support Javascript? If I want to do Django and Javascript, do I need to buy IDEA?
as it was commented below IntelliJ IDEA includes almost the same support (mostly the same) for other languages (PHP/Ruby/Python) as other IntelliJ-based IDEs. But at the same time IntelliJ IDEA never was positioned as a "true" polyglot IDE. IntelliJ IDEA is Java platform IDE, in the first place. It does support other technologies via plugins though, it might be much more convenient to use dedicated IDEs for other technologies.

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.
Is ReSharper still as slow as it used to be 5 years ago (VS2008)? Eclipse does a lot of "mind-reading", too.
It is lightning fast on my machine on both VS 2010 and 2012.

#157Having used the beta, and as a Scala developer on a large multi-module project, this release is a game-changer performance-wise. The memory footprint is a small fraction of what it once was (literally). While memory is not really a big issue for a developer these days, this is huge because previously we were forced to run at large heaps, which would cause 'fun' GC pauses while typing. The code completion is now fast…
I've also been using IntelliJ for various large projects written in Scala, currently on the fence deciding whether upgrading to 13 worthwhile. Really hoping for an upgrade discount for all those who purchased IntelliJ in the "end of the world" sale last year. I also wish they'd add better support for profiling and heap dump analysis.

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)
Would you mind telling me which one? I have had trouble finding a monitor that doesn't have weird colors when rotated

I don't follow what you're asking for. Since you got a really cheap initial price, you feel that you should get a cheap upgrade price?
