ACK.

I usually unzip Idea into C:\Programme\idea6xx (or C:\Programm
Files\idea6xx for you english guys ;-) and have an environment variable
called IDEA_HOME.  The link to start idea just points to
%IDEA_HOME%/bin/idea.bat (and uses %IDEA_HOME%/bin/idea.ico as a icon).
When I install a new version of idea, I unzip it to the new directory,
rename the config directory to something like config-orig and copy the one
from the last release in. Then I set IDEA_HOME to the new value and click
my link. If for one reason or another the release is not useable for me,
just set back IDEA_HOME and all is back to normal. I usually keep 2-3
versions of IDEA around, just in case. This works pretty well and I never
got any bigger troubles.

Agreed.  And how hard is it to save the last couple of builds of Idea on
your own personal machine anyway?  I never get rid of old builds until I
am sure the latest build doesn't slow me down.

These are Early Access builds, folks.  The chaps at IntelliJ are working
on new code, and are just kind enough to let us see them.  They're not
releases as such, and therefore shouldn't be "pandering" to this kind of
request.

If you want stable, use 2.5.x.

No?  I didn't think so :)

Cheers,
Simon
