Hi, I think an argument could be made that full error detection isnt that desirable at all. The compiler is always there, why force IDEA to duplicate its work in *all* aspects? I sometimes tend to write code such that I avoid the syntactic details to clean them up later when the compiler comes in. With IDEA, I have this red mess all over.. (not that I dislike the feature, just saying that I for my part am quite happy with it as it is)
