Earlier quoted context omitted.

IDEA's done Android for years now. And now it's the basis of Google's Android Studio.

IntelliJ IDEA is the base for Android Studio, the new IDE for Android developers. Read all about it: http://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2013/05/15/intellij-idea-is-t...

Badly worded on my part. What I meant was that Android Studio updates are now included in Ultimate since it was based on version 13, which is nice.

So, Android is supported in IDEA now? Nice. It is kind of annoying having two IDEs, one for Android development and one for everything else. Edit: Badly worded. What I meant to say are the Android Studio improvements and updates are now in Ultimate, which is nice.

I've been doing Android programming on IDEA 12. Aside from missing some of the Android Lint checks (which are apparently improved in 13), I've had no issues.

Since there seem to be some IntelliJ folks here, I'd like to bring up my pet peeve: please take advantage of modern, gigantic _wide_ monitors.

It makes no sense for code to be in a single column on the left of the monitor while 2/3 of the right side is almost completely empty space. Instead of just allowing vertical scrolling, why not allow multiple columns and horizontal scrolling? This will result in the ability to see twice, in some cases three times as much code on screen!

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.

Go right ahead https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community

But their community versions are not usable for web development.

My day to day would be significantly harder, less fun, and more frustrating without IntelliJ. Big thanks to the team for making such an incredible product.

No major updates for me in 13, but all the little things add up to a nice update.

Great update, but still no support for Java 7 only in OS X. :(

I take that you mean running IntelliJ under Java 7? JDK 7 and 8 work fine for development!

Exactly. I should've mentioned that. You can't run IDEA with only Oracle JRE 7. You need to install Apple's JRE 6 too.

I never thought I'd say it but it seems that they are getting close to the end of the line feature wise! Not a lot here that is making want to upgrade from 12...

IDEA is the one piece of software I buy that advertises "Faster performance!" with each new release...and actually delivers on it for me.

Just trying the Scala plugin now. I really want to leave Eclipse. I wonder if it will show me implicit conversions and parameters, and if will handle hairy stuff like macros. And does it use the presentation compiler like ScalaIDE/Eclipse? If not I'll be surprised if can handle macros. So far, so good though. Need to import a bigger project as a test...

It does highlight implicit conversions by default (they're underlined and have a light blue background colour). I don't think it does anything special w.r.t. macros, but I might be wrong.

As far as I know, they use their own compiler for highlighting type errors in the editor etc. and SBT for the "actual" compilation. The presentation compiler didn't exist when they started Scala support, so they rolled their own solution.

Multiple columns and horizontal scrolling?

In addition to the existing panels you can split the editor window using Window->Editor Tabs->Split Horizontally.

Open the context menu for a tab by right-clicking it, select "Split Vertically", and you'll have two columns for tabs.
