I am working in java and primarily Scala. I'm using the community edition of Intellij. I'm curious if its worth it to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition? I've been back and forth with Intellij and Eclipse... and for Scala dev I like Intellij a little bit better (for now).
Thanks in advance...
The best way to find it is to try, Jetbrains give a 30-day trial for the Ultimate edition.
But it does not seem to have specific features for Scala in the Ultimate edition.
I think it's worth the money. If you do some web programming or use Spring the Ultimate Edition has really good support for it. Not mentioning they take reported bugs seriously.
See the feature comparison for yourself.
Because I already did the upgrade, I would say simply Yes: it's worth every invested penny. Of course, you need to give the trial version a chance and see for yourself, always.
My employer paid for my upgrade. I definitely appreciate the Ultimate Edition - I make constant use of the Spring functionality.
Also - the UML diagrams are really handy to be able to just pull up instantly with a keystroke combination.
