Does anyone know how, say, IntelliJ handles Javascript? or RubyMine? For instance, If I've got a Rails project with JS in it, do I need both WebStorm and RubyMine? Wish there was "one IDE to rule them all!" type of thing. I don't work in just one language.

We use the same core for JavaScript, HTML, CSS among all IDE's. They're often not available at the same time because we ship at different times. Otherwise all the same.

Ugh. I tried adding a product to the cart and got a "Some JetBrains services are currently down for scheduled maintenance. We'll be back online shortly. Thanks for your patience." page.

Someone chose a really bad time for scheduled maintenance... I'm doubting it was scheduled.

Hope they get this resolved soon.

Judging by how slow your site is at 7am EST, I'd say your sale is a big success :) Anyone used AppCode? I'm tempted to give it a try, but what's its killer features compared to Xcode? If refactoring works with ObjC++ that'd be a great start; worth EUR23 alone.

It works great for me. If I'm making just minor code tweaks or configuration changes, I stay on Xcode. Whenever I expect to do more coding, I launch AppCode. I had already been an Intellij user for a few years before starting on iOS projects on the side. At the time, AppCode wasn't available yet, so I had no choice. The more I used Xcode, the more I lamented the lack of choice. Once AppCode came out, I bought it righ…

Thanks. I'm a long-standing IntelliJ user; I ditched Eclipse in favour of it at my day job 4 years ago and I never looked back. Looks like I'll try it.

NOOO my boss is on vacation until next year, how am I supposed to get approval? Edit: Oh apparently it's for personal editions only.

Just buy your own copy, you are allowed to use it at work but you can't share it with other people.

Also you have to buy it with your own money.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

From the documentation: Personal licenses are not available to companies in any way or form. Transfer of personal licenses to any third party and/or reimbursement for personal license purchase by a company are prohibited by the Personal License Agreement. So not sure what to make of that exactly... Individuals can buy it and use it commercially but companies can't? Even if you're a contractor working in your spare ti…

i have a personal licence and use it for work. no-one has sued me. it's my ide. i bought it. i use it. that is how i expect things to work. surely the commercial licence is for when a company is buying it, and expects to have N programmers, who are replaceable, using it at any one time. that's a completely different use case. the only frustrating thing is that if you have multiple machines (say a desktop and a laptop…

Personal license means it's in your name, nothing more. Whereas Commercial license means it's in your company's name and therefore unnamed, so it does not belong to a single individual but to the company.

This screenshot alone is worth $25 to me: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nGVTKms6ALo/TysNLgb6rGI/AAAAAAAAAJ...

Thanks, both: very helpful.

This web-site needs Cloudflare or similar. I cannot get a darn thing to load.

My advice: don't say your site is down for "scheduled maintenance" when it's obviously because of an unexpected surge in traffic. It just makes you look dishonest. (Well, either that or really terrible at scheduling your maintenance periods.)

Nooooooooooooooo... I bought the Intellij IDEA 12 upgrade 3 days ago... I paid 111€ (including VAT) instead of 27€... I now it's irrational, but I'm sad.

47€ * Their dollar-euro conversion rate is pretty bad.

I paid 111€ to upgrade (94€ + 19% french VAT). If I were to upgrade now, it would cost 27€ (23€ + 19% french VAT).

I wonder if I should just cancel the upgrade and buy a new license. According to the terms and conditions on the Digital River website, I have a legal "cooling off period" of two weeks.
