Earlier quoted context omitted.

I can assure you that this was not to "just create hype" and that the team is working to get up and running as quickly as possible.

I trust you that it's just bad planning, been waiting for hours with my CC in hand.

Gotcha. We have our hand on the pulse and will keep everybody here posted.

I had never heard of WebStorm before, and on the wikipedia page, they seem to say that all of its functionalities are part of IntelliJ IDEA. Is it true ? If I buy IntelliJ IDEA, will I be able to do everything that can be done in WebStorm ? (just trying to not buy both if it is not necessary)

IntelliJ IDEA has the functionality of all of their other products except appCode available as plugins, but the plugins aren't necessarily as up-to-date as the standalone products. The plugin version usually gets updated a couple months after a major version of the standalone product is released, in my experience.

For example, the plugin list for my copy of IntelliJ Ultimate 11 (cheap upgrade to 12 incoming, woo) shows a PHP plugin whose description says "PhpStorm/WebStorm 4.0.3 version". PhpStorm 5 was released in September, but a lot of the IntelliJ plugins for its features haven't seen an update since then.

Edit: Upgraded to IDEA 12, and it looks like the bundled plugins contain full WebStorm 5 functionality.

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.

I'm trying like hell to get a copy of AppCode, guess I'll be hitting F5 all day trying to get it in the cart. For $25 I have to try it... big fan of other JetBrains products.

The Mayans took an obsidian axe to their e-commerce server early. The contract I'm on doesn't have an escape clause for apocalypses, so I'm gonna need that software soon.

Do we have any feedback for the problem from Jetbrains?

@skiabox we are working on it. sorry for any inconvenience.

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.

Working on it. Sorry about this.

All the developers at the company I work for are very excited by this. We're all trying to buy stuff but it's 404ing :-(

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.

From the license page, it does not look like you are allowed to use your copy at work (would be great if this were possible ;) ):

"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"
