So what? I'm a professional developer. I make money using these tools.  
The money people pay for IntelliJ is one reason that the Scala support  
in IntelliJ is more ambitious and why the IntelliJ Clojure plugin is  
more advanced. I'd happily pay for NetBeans or Eclipse, and/or support  
for Clojure and Scala. I buy a lot of software, and when I use good O/ 
S software, I donate $ to support it e.g. Firebug.

IntelliJ is cheap for a personal license (USD$249). Even VisualWorks  
Smalltalk, for which I pay 5% of my gross billings, is good deal  
because the productivity benefits pay for themselves.
