You mean the open-source community edition that actually exists?
(I also happen to work on an app with a Java backend so it's a no-brainer, and the company's paying for the software...)
EDIT: Just realized you were referring only to the CE, which I've not used. I'll leave this here as a _non-sequiter_ opinion on the paid version nonetheless.
I'm using the free version, since I'm only doing Java, but I truly think IntelliJ IDEA is great[1], so I would pay if there was no free version.
