So 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?

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.
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?
Please add support for building Android projects with Renderscript source files. That's the last reason why I use ADT.
Having 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…

As for profiling and heap analysis, you are going to have to spend some cash somewhere else. I would suggest YourKit (http://www.yourkit.com). Sure, you can use VisualVM but that will only get you so far. Since you are using Scala, perhaps you could look into Takipi (http://www.takipi.com/) for profiling and monitoring.

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...
Not all IDEs can make you more productive.
I 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.

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).
IMO AppCode has much better code generation, refactoring and navigation. For instance, I've yet to locate a way to find all references to a symbol in Xcode.

But their community versions are not usable for web development.
I use Visual Studio and IntelliJ IDEA for C# and Java development, respectively. I cannot fathom a scenario in which I would need an IDE for web development. Perhaps heavy PHP development would benefit from JetBrains PhpStorm IDE, a free version of which is available for open source projects.
The IDEA Ultimate edition also supports lots of "enterprisey" stuff that the CE doesn't. Lots, of stuff.
