It's expensive? Wait. Looking at Idea, it's only a little expensive.

It's funny. I've heard people complain about it, but what they said made
me wonder if there was anything they wouldn't complain about.

I think I've heard that it shares a lot with Apple's Cocoa IDE, which is
kind of fun, and very MVC, although it doesn't do nearly as much
hand-holding for you as, say, Delphi. How much you'd gain if you
succeeded in perverting it for Tomcat/Struts, I have no way of guessing.

I thought it was $700.
