I asked about this on Jetbrain's plugins forum [1]. The answer i got was
this:
"I can confirm we DO NOT have plans implementing maven2 support
in IDEA 6."

Very cool.

While IDEA may well have less users than NetBeans/Eclipe, it's
certainly not
"by definition". In fact, there's an argument that as they don't charge,
"by definition" they have fewer "customers". [My dictionary's primary
definition of customer is "a person who buys".]
There's also the possibility that the developers who do
purchase/influence
the purchase of IDEA might tend to have more than the average
proportion of
types who would be interested in knocking up an IDEA plugin in their
spare
time!

At which point you find that no IDE will do everything, so return to the
best available, which is IDEA for a lot of developers. Competing against
some strong free alternatives, it's got to be something special, just to
stick around.

I think the real reason is that the combination of the maven-idea-plugin
together with the way "mvn" can be added to the menus/toolbars as an
external tool means that it has "good enough" support for most
developers...
