Who says we're paying attention only to the IDE itself? Apart from the fact that we support a wide variety of languages on the platform, both JVM targeted languages as those that are not, and that the fact that we're also developing our own OSS language, kind of is contrary to us only focusing exclusively on the IDE or the tools.
My point about it being on our GitHub account and OSS is that the source is available, much like it is for plug-ins for Emacs or Sublime or any other environment. It's not about blaming anyone or pushing the effort on to someone else.
We have quite a few developers dedicated to writing plug-ins in-house, specially considering pretty much all the functionality in IDEA is based around plug-ins and in fact we have around 3 people that are working alone on Scala plugin.

As a paying customer who bought IntelliJ solely for its Scala plugin, I'm currently seriously questioning whether it is still worth paying for the next version. It is not only that I can't see much progress with IntelliJ's Scala plugin and that the free Scala IDE is getting increasingly better as well as having some amazing add-on functionality. I'm really wondering how much money of their Scala customers JetBrains is really spending on improving the Scala plugin and how much of it is silently funnelled into FUD and vaporware factories like Kotlin. That's a huge conflict of interest and the reason why a significant part of my next paycheck probably won't end up in JetBrains bank account.
