Many of us are waiting for this and the ability to use one copy of IDEA 
for multiple users (I would just like to see the caches and configs kept 
in the user directory so new version pick them up from there rather and 
having to copy/recreate them for each new build).

Since this has come up so regularly could the JetBrains guys perhaps 
comment on it (as they have not done so yet). Is it going to be 
implemented or are we stuck with a copy of IDEA per developer on a 
machine? Will we be able to use an IDEA install mounted from a server 
read-only? Have multiple users of the same machine use the same IDEA 
install? Be able to upgrade just by unzipping IDEA and not having to 
copy the config files across?

So many questions, no answers (so far).
