Is there any discussion about IntelliJ supporting multiple open projects at once? Requiring a separate window for each project breaks down when I've got 21 projects open, as I have now in NetBeans.
Is this another minor release disguised as a major release in order make old customers renew the licence? I say this because I did not notice any major improvements between 12 and 13, but still I had to pay for a new licence.
If you didn't feel you got anything useful in the new version, why pay for it?
I hope they're going to fix the Scala and Play plugins. Unfortunately they say nothing about it. Sometimes the lag between typing and actually seeing it in Idea is a couple of seconds.. Still better than the last time I tried Scala IDE (eclipse) though.

Yeah, that's definitely an issue. The Scala auto-complete is not very responsive, which makes the whole IDE experience with Scala pretty undesirable, sadly. I've been using IDEA with Java in the last ~2 months and it was perfectly smooth all the time. I guess Scala is a lot more complex as a language than Java, which makes parsing it on the fly much harder.
One thing I noticed about the Kotlin design and design discussions is that "that wouldn't be auto completable fast" comes up quite often. I had never thought about it before but it makes sense that language design choices can impact the speed of an IDE. I am starting to think that it also makes a lot of sense for language designers to have IDE development experience. I wish they'd hurry up and release a stable Kotlin…
I hope they will add C#+Xamarin support when their project N arrives. Sell for 30% of Visual Studio price: win for everyone (except MS).
Wow this is magnitudes slower that 13 CE. What gives? Can I turn off something(plugins?) to make it faster?

It would be pretty sad if code completion efficiency became a reason to compromise on other areas of a language.
I would love it if they focused on performance improvements and making the editor more lightweight overall. I love WebStorm, but even on my beastly XPS running nothing but it and Chrome, it sometimes hangs doing nothing. I'm starting to investigate other editors such as Atom because of this. I find it hard to believe that a quad core, modern computer can possibly have a hard time running a text editor.
My relatively old laptop runs IntelliJ and PyCharm like a dream... Atom runs sluggishly. I ditched Atom quickly.
Disclaimer: I love PyCharm, and I actually would not replace it with Atom. I believe PyCharm is the best IDE for Python, but Atom has its uses.
