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...

View on HN

I pay for every upgrade simply for the support. A few times a year I get stuck on something; mere minutes after filing a support ticket, I have a resolution. They've got this guy "Serge" who must be locked in a room somewhere doing support because he always solves my issues within minutes. Amazing.

Are you kidding, you need support for an IDE?

Look, Intellij is the Emacs of IDEs. If you've not used it you have no idea of its depth. I've written plugins [1] for it, so I'm not an idiot. I regularly use it for Java, Scala, Clojure and Ruby, so yeah, sometimes it's worth paying someone to sort out issues for you.

Every software can have bugs.

At the office our jaws regularly drop at JetBrains' attention to detail, too. PHP development would be nightmare without their tools. If you're ever reading this, thank you guys very much.

The team is definitely reading this and thank you for your kind works.

RubyMine allowed me to learn Rails well and make a living for me and my family. Definitely the best $70 I've invested in my career. It literally changed my life by allowing me to make much more money as a Rails developer. Send my thanks to the RubyMine team! :)

I have passed your comment and this link along :-)

The team wants to know if they can use this on our website :-)

Drop me a line at robert(dot)demmer[at]jetbrains(dot)com if you're willing.

I vaguely recall a cross platform, clang integrating, c/c++ IDE was in the works? Any news?

IntelliJ is awesome :)

Glad to hear you're digging IntelliJ.

C/C++ IDE, try subscribe to preview: http://www.jetbrains.com/objc/features/cpp.html

PyCharm was my gateway drug into JetBrains. Actually, it was the ReSharper plug-in for Visual Studio. Now days, I won't consider running software that doesn't run on multiple platforms. So glad that JetBrains is delivering great IDEs for those bigger development efforts.

I vaguely remember programming small to large PHP sites with just sublime text... never again.

My impulsive purchase on the 21st December 2012 was the best thing I did that year.

Auto-completion of Maven GAV and full screen mode are two of the many small features they've added in this release that I've enjoyed. I've been using the EAP for a few months and can't really say what's different between 12 and 13 anymore, I've forgotten about 12, but I know I've been pleasantly surprised consistently enough to happily pay $99 for an upgrade.

it's the only software i pay for; i buy each version as insurance they don't go away.

The updated Gradle support and Presentation mode are my reasons for upgrading. This may be the last release for me as I am starting to use Go more instead of Java.

It seems that they have invested a lot in Android support this release. Still, there are some really nice other changes that increase productivity, such as lens mode, lambda/closure support for 'smart step into', and JAX-RS 2.0 support.

It's the refinement in every release that makes IntelliJ so great. That, plus their support of Kotlin, made upgrading to 13 (Ultimate) a no-brainer for me :).

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

Not even close. Intellij is more of a platform than just a Java IDE these days. They're busy at work on Kotlin, and still have all the other languages and frameworks to work on.

Great job Jetbrains. Although I'm primarily a .NET ) developer (have resharper of course, I make sure to have the latest IDEA because it's such a great IDE

Yep. IntelliJ is an IDE and Platform. In regards to ReSharper... stay tuned for an awesome upcoming webinar in February, ReSharper Secrets w/Igal Tabachnik. We will announce here in January: blogs.jetbrains.com/dotnet/
