My previous IDE was Kawa. One of the features that was added late in that product's life is color-coding in the left margin when lines are inserted or modified. This color coding produced a sort of on-the-fly diff view of the code versus the disk version. Saving changes would make all of the color-coding go away.
I find this useful while editing, particularly if I'm moving around among several files. It's also of great help when UnDo'ing a set of changes; it's easier to anticipate the result of a specific UnDo. Although IDEA saves my files transparently, it offers the "Reload From Disk" option. The color coding could rely on the differences between the version in the editor and the version available to reload from disk. Thanks for the great IDE, by the way!
