I just installed Eclipse on my Linux machine and found that it also doesnt respect the UNIX tradition, requiring write access to the installation directory for every user. I was very amazed (eclipse has since been removed from my disk, because I couldt stand the motif GUI).
After poking around with several IDEs I also discovered that IDEA is still an unmatched beauty. Even though 635 has again brought about some undiscernable icons (dock/undock/hide tool window. They were perfect before..).
