AppCode is not a part of the IDEA bundle. It follows XCode more closely than the generic project format that IDEA and the other apps use.
Thanks for the answer! I am going to try to find whats a part of the IDEA bundle so that I have a more defined picture before purchasing :-D

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" http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/buy/buy.jsp#personal
I've glanced through the license. You are allowed to install it on as many machines as you need as long as only you use it. I can't see any limitations on what work you can do or who for. My conclusion is that as long as you have paid for it you can use it at work but cannot reclaim expenses for it or transfer it in any way.
How is that a valid condition (legally)? If you bought a programming book on your Kindle, Amazon would have no legal ground to prohibit your company from reimbursing you.
We're thrilled that you've come all the way here to buy our products! Thank you! However, we did not expect the load on our servers would be this high. We are working hard right now to fix the problem. Please be patient and come back in a couple of hours. There's still time... -The JetBrains Team Oh alright.
One of those rare moments where I am trying to throw money at someone and no matter how hard I try they just won't take it...

It is because the offer plays to our human nature. We perceive we are getting something worth 4 times the value but fear that if we do not act now we will lose it forever. The fact that the servers are going down and people are excited by the offer also means that we will feel left out if we do not do what our fellow humans have validated as a good choice. If they offered the product at a cheaper price normally, they…
Yeah but parent is saying that if they had correct pricing they would be able to handle this level of demand. 75% off for your product should create a much larger sales revenue, but within a certain factor. Beyond that just shows that most of your potential customers view your software as being heavily overpriced.
If you've got a great product and there's no competition on par in the market, you can charge what ever you like and people will pay (photoshop, maya, resharper, etc).
A sale like this just spikes interest and no doubt drives a lot of chatter which will pull other full price paying customers to the site to buy more stuff.
As a company with shareholders, can you really justify throwing away profits by cutting your prices permanently by 75%?
For this to be a reasonable proposition you need 4x your current customer base that you can prove wont buy your product unless you slash the price.
You'd probably see some rise in volumes, but 500%?
O_o I"m dubious.
(I've always thought the Jetbrains stuff was quite modestly priced; compared to say, Xamarin's offerings)
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.
AppCode has been a wonderful tool for me. I have been using it since the EAP of 1.0. If you've used IntelliJ IDEA before you will feel very comfortable here. The refactorings are great and only getting better. The debugger and the ability to inspect variables much more easily that in Xcode is awesome. I just recently renewed my support on AppCode and I could have saved some cash, but the tool is so inexpensive as it…
I prefer the idea of a single extensible IDE, but can't figure out the tradeoffs by reading the descriptions.

Do these have Emacs key bindings? I primarily code in Ruby and Javascript, should I buy those individually or get IDEA and find plugins?
I've only used it briefly, but the only thing missing that bothered me was lack of "Quit" action (defaults to Ctrl-G in Emacs) which I use frequently, but they appear to be getting all the important things correct.
I'm not sure whether these improvements have made it to their other tools besides IDEA 12.

Working on it. Sorry about this.
So was it scheduled or do you lie to your [potential] customers as a matter of policy?
A mistake, not a "lie as a matter of policy".
