The Ant support in particular needs addressing. It would be nice to be able to edit a perfectly correct build file without hundreds of false error reports and random IDE crashes.
And there are some pretty sloppy bugs in the EJB support as well.

Borland did itself in with a low quality product, a feature set that was concerned more with competitive bullet points than quality implementation, an over-the-top pricing schedule and in trying to be all things to all people. IntelliJ is none of those things. The features it adds always translate into higher productivity for me, and I have not noticed at all that the releases are in any way unstable. The pre-releases get funky occasionally , but that's what you expect.
If you make a living writing code, what you want is a solid, well thought-out environment that lets you concentrate on your goals instead of the tool. IntelliJ has that in spades.
To me, Eclipse as a tool is in permanent beta condition. I especially loved the day I realized that search didn't "always" work. I can't have that as a possible reason I am stuck.
If free is all you can afford, then OK, there's no argument you go with what's free. If you're a mega corp and can afford the multi-thousand dollar price tag per seat for a round-trip UML modeler, maybe that's providing value to your organization and causing you to feel no pain. But for not very much money IntelliJ provides me with a dazzling array of features and abilities that just work.
I pay for an upgrade once a year or less. I don't have to upgrade if I don't want to. So far the business proposition for an upgrade has been a winner for me because it delivered more usable value. If you're paying a developer 50 bucks an hour, how many hours ofver the course of a year does he or she have t save to make it worth your while? Not many.

Aside from that, I do agree that the tool adds value. I don't agree with the argument that it adds value so you should pay for it. I have plenty of tools that I rely on way more than IDEA that I didn't have to pay for. That's not to say IDEA isn't worth money, just that it's a weak argument.

The milestone is scheduled for February-March 2007. The roadmap will be expanded then.
Note that we plan to continue releasing weekly EAP builds during Selena development.
I believe this is a problem with english as a second language. "The roadmap will be expanded then." is a clue.
But I agree, I can't imagine all of these bug fixes and minor changes not making into a 6.x release. Idea 6 was released months before it was finished.

The state of the ant integration has been sliding downhill since 4.5 (4.5 ant support is much more usable than in 6). To ask us to pay for those fixes is a complete rip off, and will absolutely create a JBuilder deja-vu for many people. That is not a good thing.
The reason I am looking at the roadmap is that I was hoping to see the ant issues resolved in 6.0.5 that was just released. No such luck
And now I know why.
To you JetBrains guys I just want to say: Guard your reputation. Its still good, but it has been sliding in my mind since IDEA 4.5, which was your best release ever IMHO. Letting people pay for bug fixes (especially when the bugfix is named "redesign") is a good way to erode from your rep.

The same for constants.
Another thing that I found that was really helpful on a project to reduce code was to replace conditionals with a table lookup as I believe there is a relation between cyclometric complexity and quality. It is also easier to test code coverage.
A refactoring tool that would reduce cyclometric complexity using table lookups, eliminating multiple returns etc. would also be nice as well.
John Backus wrote a Turing Award paper on FP where he stated that variables holding "mini" state were as bad as spaghetti code using gotos. A refactoring tool that replaced looping constructs with iterators and functors would be nice as well.

Refreshing--files changing in one project and being reparsed, etc, should NOT affect an entirely different project in another window.
As a result, performing a rebuild in project #1 and editing in project #2 without closing project #1 is VERY slow as Idea is constantly reloading caches and reparsing files.

Pros for Eclipse:
Starts faster
Opens projects faster
Seems to handle the memory load of having large projects or multiple projects open better
More plugins, can have better support for some important technologies such as Hibernate
Idea benefits:
Better refactoring tools
WAY better code analysis tools if you are doing any kind of QA
Faster editor
Faster at browsing between files (ctrl + N is WAY faster than ctrl + shift + R which seems to hang for many seconds)
Far smarter referencing between classes, methods, etc.
WAY, WAY better JSP, HTML, XML and Javascript editors. Eclipse isn't even close. Very important for web applications.
Better Struts support if you have to use Struts (which I do, yes I hate Struts)
In conclusion, my opinion is that Eclipse is a good editor, but I write faster, better code using Idea.

many companies are migrating from source safe to tfs. As seen in the comments many people permanently compare idea vs. eclipse - and with eclipse there are some plugins that support tfs already which is then a big + for eclipse. It would be a great market opportunity for jetbrains if they support tfs in the near future. It would be great at first to just support the vcs operations of tfs. Later on of course work item tracking features would be welcome.
What is the strategy of jetbrains regarding tfs as teamcity already supports tfs?

Granted, TFS is far from finished in the quality and stability department (current customer has encountered numerous bugs and quirks, which in the end made them switch version control system), and JetBrains TeamCity seems to support it in some way, but still, due to the marketing machinery that is Microsoft and due to the least effort mechanisms of migration for existing Source Safe customers, I think JetBrains would do themselves a big disfavour not supporting TFS.

- Enabling developers to code faster and more efficiently.
Stop adding more features, but concentrate on memory footprint, startup time and zero bugs.
I am still using version 5 because I saw no reason to pay for the new features in 6. Version 5 still has bugs, but they are not being fixed anymore. IDEA has become this bloated tool that tries to do way too much. Good developers don't need Tomcat integration. All we want is a tool that enables us to code Java quickly. That is why we loved IDEA in the first place. But now, IDEA is becoming bloated, with tons of useless features only the amateur developer asks for, and the number of bugs and speed is becoming intolerable. If JetBrains do not change their direction immediately, I will be moving over to Eclipse.

In my opinion all the hibero features should be supported, in particular the 'run query' one and the 'query translation'. I think these two are the most useful.

My favorites of the new features are the improvements to project configuration, Maven integration, performance improvements and especially "Annotate library classes (e.g. JDK) with Nullable/NotNull/NonNls". I'm eagerly waiting for a ready-made annotations collection for the central JDK packages (java.lang, java.util, javax.swing etc.).

In a perfect world, we'd get a visual GWT and JSF/JSP designer that would handle every possible scenario. However there are situations that even a high end page editor like Dreamweaver has problems with, and that's a dedicated, stand-alone page designer.
I'd rather see the effort be used to make IDEA faster, easier, and more compliant to other standards. I use other tools for my JSF and GWT design, and just integrate it into the application using the existing tools there today. While a good designer would add some value, I don't think it would give me that much. I inherited an application that I maintain, and the pages are such spaghetti, that even the page formatter has significant trouble trying to process it. I can't imagine what this would be like under a visual JSP editor.
I could use Eclipse with MyEclipse, but I choose to pay 10x the cost for IDEA because of what IDEA does.

maven-idea-plugin for goal idea:idea has property dependenciesAsLibraries, can't find similar functionality in Selena EAP.
This feature is very useful in case of generated code, you don't have java sources in src/main/java, classes are generated from whatever, and are visible in resulting packaging.
Is this feature planed for Selena?
Thanks for delivering best IDE on planet,
Hubert.

It would be great if the maven support would include a repository search, ie to be able to search for artifacts in local repos and in remote ones as well. Combine it with completion in writing the <dependency>-tag and you have a winner.

My bet is they're putting all their eggs in the maven basket and they have totally abandoned hope to fix ant problems. It pains me beyond description to think that I might need to move to Eclipse. IntelliJ (in its not so buggy incarnations) has been heretofore infinitely more usable. But random bugs in 6.0.x (mostly false reds in the editor and build when project dependencies are correct) and the unacceptable ant integration may force my hand.
The 7.0 release also looks to be a grab-bag of new features that make for great press releases but do not attest to a stable and usable product. Big mistake.

You don't see anything about that on our Web site because no major new features were added, but we do continue working on Ant bugfixes.

I would recommend that you use one of the repository manager servers (Artifactory, Proximity or if you are really adventurous you can try Archiva)
