@eropple I hope you get that I'm not trying to minimize or trivialize your concerns. I just wanted to point out something that impressed me. @olegstepanov the guy that just asked you for your feedback... he's the CEO of Jetbrains.

I'm really glad that my friend introduced me to IDEA and it's what I use for nearly all of my work with code.

These guys make kickass products, and the fact that they really enjoy their work comes out in the quality of their stuff, and how they treat their customers.

Yeah I'm aware, and I was impressed that he'd be hanging around here. And don't get me wrong: I'm a fan of JetBrains. TeamCity saves my bacon on the regular and both dotPeek and ReSharper are great when I'm working in .NET. From the perspective of an Android developer (day job) and a Scala fan, I love IDEA--it's very smart where I need it to be smart. Thing is, I don't need my IDE to be nearly as smart when writing C++, or even what Objective-C I have to write for tools and such. I need it to not frustrate me, and I'm very willing to spend money on tools that do that. I'd love it if AppCode progressed to a point where I felt like it was a good investment.

And, too, I'm sympathetic with regards to most of the stuff I enumerated in my previous post - a lot of it comes down to being non-native, and trying to match that in Java is kind of like having your foot in a bucket.
