Hi Tomas & Others, I should agree with Tomas. I believe that it can be a useful feature although not a top-priority one! I know that there are much more higher priority features to implement but it doesn't mean that this feature is useless.
I don't know why all those people out there are strictly giving *negative* points to this feature. Will it be bad to have some automated eyes on your written texts/comments to avoid typing mistakes in addition to some gramatical checkings?! I don't think so. I know it may take a lot of time from IntelliJ guys but it can be implemented as a plugin (Open API) by a third party. And as for language, I guess it should start with English support first since most of the documentations (javadocs at least) are in English (at least those I've seen at these 4-5 years). It's a fact that if you want a high guarantee that your comments to be understandable/portable(!!!), they're prefered to be in English. Although English is my third language and I would prefer to write the comments in my mother tongue! At last, you're quite right Tomas: Professional developer isn't equal to English language guru. Hey Guys! Are you sure that MS-Word's (or other good editor's) spell checking feature is used only by poor non-English people ?!
