As you've noticed, Code Guide is also an excelent product. It has been my experience that the two companies operate with completely different business models. The folks who write CodeGuide usually don't release anything to the public unless it is pretty solid and feature complete whereas JetBrains gives users more opportunities to comment on the user interface and implementation of new features. Oddly enough, although the JetBrains folks love to add experimental new features to their IDE, they are very reluctant to support other companies experimental new features. There was almost no support in IDEA for the 1.4 JDK until it went final. The short answer is: don't look for it until the version of Java that has generics goes final.
