We made quite a lot of progress in this area recently. However, not all these changes have made it to the release. When you have a chance, please try to launch the IDE using the latest JDK downloaded from https://bintray.com/jetbrains/intellij-jdk (e.g. the build 555).
I've written this article with one simple idea in mind – give for reading to everyone asking me to explain how IntelliJ IDEA is compared to other IDEs. Just now I've also realized that I can use it to explain what we're doing at JetBrains.
With all respect, I don't I understand your point. FTR, I'm also a developer in past and in present. If you have an argument in regard to actual points shared in my article, please share it with others.
