To complete the picture: “I’ve always been a big fan of Jetbrains products. A few years ago I’ve used Omea (http://www.jetbrains.com/omea/) which IMO was a great product but it was killed for some reason. I’ve also used TeamCity on some open source project and we’re currently evaluating it again on the XWiki project since we’ve had our share of stability issues with Jenkins over the years. And I’m keen to try Youtrack one day as a JIRA replacement...
I remember that I was so thrilled with the way IDEA worked that I even imagined what a build tool using the same principles as IntelliJ could do and I wrote a blog post about it in 2006: http://web.archive.org/web/20080723200709/http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/vmassol/archives/001369_intellib.html “ Thanks -Vincent On 6 May 2014 at 12:49:44, [email protected] ([email protected]) wrote: Here’s my quote: “I started using IDEA back in 2001. I really liked the code editor but Eclipse had a lot more plugins that I needed at the time so I kept switching between IDEA and Eclipse but my wish was to be able to stay on IDEA since it was so vastly superior in term of code editing. Then, IDEA improved a lot its ecosystem of features with support for Maven, code coverage and more and suddenly there was no need anymore to switch to another IDE! :) Hurrah! It’s now been about 10 years that I haven’t switched back. Every 2 years or so I try the new version of other IDEs in parallel to see how they have evolved but so far they haven’t been offering anything compelling to switch and IDEA is still ahead in the race IMO. I keep discovering new features now and then and I’m always amazed at the power and the fact that the new features are not in your way when you code."

Jetbrains is ok to renew it but they wish that the xwiki project gives something more in return: they mentioned some blog post for example. So first, who’s using IDEA and would like to continue using the Ultimate version (vs the community one which is free)? I’m using IDEA Ultimate and I’m very happy with it. The community edition looks good but is missing some features like HMTL/CSS/JS support. I don’t know if I would miss those features though if I were to use the community edition. I guess I should try it… Will do now! Any idea of what we could do? A blog post on xwiki.org could be written, mentioning the number of xwiki committers using it and providing some quotes from each devs, wdyt?
