IDEA product name

I just saw someone refer to the latest EAP build as "IntelliJ Aurora build 963." I've seen a trend lately of calling the product IntelliJ instead of IDEA or IntelliJ IDEA. What is the official name? Wasn't the company called IntelliJ, and the product called IDEA? Has this officially changed?

Actually that's a good question, what is the separation between
JetBrains and IntelliJ, is it the same, and are products going to use
the name JetBrains since the site moved over to be branded JetBrains?

The company is called JetBrains Inc.
The product is called IntelliJ IDEA.
IntelliJ is a brand of products for Java from JetBrains
(currently there is only one such :) )

People in my company call IDEA, IntelliJ.

But here it is IDEA, or IntelliJ IDEA.

Whenever I switch back and forth, I have to change syntax :(

which shows that the Jetbrains naming strategy is too convoluted for
consumers.

"IntelliJ" is it for me. Says it all - it's intelligent and it's main
talent is Java. I've never seen the need for the IDEA bit, just
confuses things, and isn't particularly strong. I think the company
being JetBrains and the product being IntelliJ is as convoluted as it
needs to get. Then we all know what we're talking about ;)

It needs some refactoring. I suggest "[Shift-F6]"

This is a valid point and one that shouldn't be taken lightly. If name recognition means anything in the market place then IDEA is only 1/3 as popular as it should be. 1/3 knows it as IDEA, another 1/3 as Intellij (my preference) and 1/3 as IntelliJ IDEA. Okay so maybe you have a 50/50 split.

Regardless, by my conversation with other people who are not IntelliJ savy, they seem to know it as IntelliJ AND IntelliJ speaks volumes whereas IDEA sounds to generic and too close to IDE.

So the story goes...

"What are you using to develop Java?"
"IDEA"
"Hmmm...yes but what is it, eclipse, JBuilder or IntelliJ?"

IntelliJ is clear. There is no mistaking it for something else.

Keith,

Do you have a relative at the local university in Oswego who is really into Java threading?

Sorry for the intrusion but I had to ask.

That's a funny way to put it, but yes, Doug is my father.

This just reminds me of the years of del-pheee or del-fi naming threads I
always attempted to avoid...
