If you love IDEA, you may well get the chance to use it for C & C++ soonish, as well, since they're working on a C & C++ IDE now. Hopefully it really will be good for vanilla C - I have an aversion to C++, and little need for that support.
The lack of native development is one of the main things keeping me from giving IDEA a proper try. It may well be better than NetBeans, but NetBeans works well now, and has decent C & C++ support (at least as good as CDT, anyway).
I do have a personal license for IDEA 12, and would have no problem paying for an upgrade to 13 - it's just not worth my time (yet) to do so.
There are a few annoying bugs I've run into in NetBeans 7.4, and Android dev isn't awesome in NetBeans, so maybe there'll be enough impetus for me to give IDEA a real shot soonish.
Or the NetBeans bugs will get fixed, and I'll just stick tight. I'm happy either way!
