Hi! Not heard from you in a while. Hope things are okay.

Downloaded the demo version of IDEA the other day, and so far, it's
awful. It suffers the same problem that every single IDE I've used
suffered from: it's incomprehensible. For a start, I can't seem to
edit any text in what appears to be the text editing window.

I'm sure once I clamber up the learning curve, it'll be fine, but
currently, I don't have the time or the patience to deal with it.

Cheers,

Simon
