Could you elaborate why? You open the project, it is scanned and indexed. Seems logical and obvious if the IDE can sugges a relevant completion based on the whole project structure. Thanks!

trial for commercial means for paying customers, including individuals.

IntelliJ IDEA is released once a year, and smaller IDEs are about twice a year. Because of this the plugins may miss some features for some time, that's true. But now, after the release of IntelliJ IDEA they will be updated with the latest Ruby, Python, PHP, etc. functionality

You are correct, Ruby and Python plugins add most of RubyMine/PyCharm features to IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. You may want to have separate IDEs if you need more lightweight environment. RubyMine & PyCharm are in general updated more frequently too.

Yes, you will get ALL WebStorm features in PhpStorm. They are built from the same source code. One difference: not all plugins bundled with WebStorm are by default available in PhpStorm but you can install them from the plugin repository. Such plugin is JSTestDriver, for example.

Unfortunately, declaring something does not always really change things. Something else is often required.

JetBrains team has its opinions but is also flexible enough to change its mind. And it has been keeping up quite good during the last 10+ years.

You can install Sun JDK on Ubuntu. It's not a big deal. There are still some problems with using OpenJDK, which are being solved now. So, it will be supported someday too.
