I'd rather they fixed the remote development in IntelliJ first. You can sort of (ab)use the remote deployment feature in Ultimate for it, but it's clearly not intended for that. And it's extremely clunky - for example the ability to exclude files from syncing is completely underpowered.

And why the hell is selecting files yet another different way of doing what's basically the same task as elsewhere? I'd suggest they should be using the File Scopes feature except it's terminally useless, with it's wierd-ass, barely documented and inadequate syntax. I've never managed to get it to work adequately.

There seems to be a common failing with JetBrains product development, they try to rush out as many different features as possible, presumably for the purposes of marketing "tick lists", but many of them are poorly designed, bug ridden and never worked on after v1.0

IntelliJ - because all the alternatives are even worse.
