So I get this email from Jetbrains this morning announcing an upcoming release of their flagship IDE. After looking over the new features, I'm starting to question if I will upgrade or not. Considering I do very little JSP work, the "web" features aren't important to me. While adding subversion support is great to see, I don't use subversion and will get zero benefit out of it right now. I realize that could change in the future though. I don't do J2ME programming and I'm not impressed by look and feel changes either. About the only features that stand out are the additional code analysis and inspection updates. Are those worth an upgrade? Is this really a major release?
