How long is it before JetBrains comes out with something more like Eclipse or Atom? You have IntelliJ, PyCharm, RubyMine, CLion, and now this. That's excluding plugins for other IDEs. All of their IDEs basically look and feel the same. It seems like a ripe opportunity to make a single, extensible IDE that isn't quite so ugly as Eclipse but isn't quite so barebones as Atom that then just has different chunks of support for specific languages, potentially with individual licensing, etc. Maybe that doesn't further their business goals but it sure would be nice to get the IntelliJ treatment whether I'm writing Java, Ruby, Python, C#, C++, etc.

IntelliJ Ultimate does this (not including c++)

> You have IntelliJ, PyCharm, RubyMine, CLion, and now this. That's excluding plugins for other IDEs To my knowledge, IntelliJ + plugin = any other JetBrains IDE. It's a solved problem already: if you want multi-language support, purchase IntelliJ. However, the plugins lag behind the standalone IDEs on features.

The biggest issue with using IntelliJ IDEA instead of one of the IDEs is you're forced to see Java-ish project conventions in a few places, and some of the functions are accessed a bit differently or need to be configured on every project. I happen to use it also when a project is partly written in Java, e.g. a JRuby app.

  CLion and AppCode are the exceptions to that rule currently, though I wouldn't be surprised to see the CLion functionality get folded back in to IDEA eventually.

It already exists and is called the Intellij Platform. It's open source and the base for all Jetbrains IDEs, see: * http://www.jetbrains.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=983889 http://www.jetbrains.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=983889 * https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/platform https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/...

  Since 15 it also works damn near flawlessly for me on Ultimate, they also seem to be faster on getting the plugins upto date with the individual IDE's which is a major win for me. Current project I'm using PHP and Python for different parts and it is absolutely flawless, also if anyone hasn't used them Facets and Aspects are incredible!

  Cursive Clojure is also built on the Intellij Platform.
