That is a misguided characterization, as it makes it seem that IntelliJ is not open source, not "actually" free, and does not come with all the bells and whistles one needs: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/idea/213.5605.12/LICENSE.txt https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/idea/21... I am trying really hard to ween myself off of weighing into this discussion every time it comes up, because it's getting to be the emacs-vs-vi of IDEs, but we should at least stick to factual arguments

The community edition is not the full IDE(A). The full IDE is not open source. They're welcome to their business model, and I'm sure the ultimate edition comes with all the bells and whistles, but the community edition does not. Feature comparison: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_matrix.html https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_... Please do stick to factual arguments.
