It did look like it had to re-index after the upgrade (not sure why). It also asked me to enter my credentials again (the settings sync thing introduced in 8.x). However, everything so far is working just fine.
They have removed Java 1.5 from SL, and during update process, it deletes 1.5 which was installed earlier on Leopard. There is a solution across net, which gives some zipped jsdk 1.5 and a guide how to install it, but Idea cannot detect it as a valid JSDK.
I was using 1.5 too in Snow Leopard but occasionally panels like Debug, View Breakpoints just won't come up. There are some issues with 1.5 on Snow Leopard.
I have done all that but still see the same problems in 8.1.3 with both 1.5 and 1.6 in Snow Leopard. Occasionally panels just simply won't come up without quitting and restarting which is a pain when you're debugging something and you have to start again.
So far I haven't had any major issues.

So far so good on my MacPro quad-core.
There is a great issue, but not with Idea itself.

So you can't complie any 1.5 sources.
I have installed a Java5.zip that someon zipped up from a Leopard installation and it works just fine. IntelliJ recognizes it just fine.

For me this was very helpful:

Idea detects contetnts of the tar.gz as a valid 1.5 JSDK??
Could you possibly upload this .zip to any public file sharing site?
Yes, I have done all things are written in the link. I had to change also symlink of 1.5 directory to 1.5.0 (previously it was to CurrentJDK).

Robert, I believe you may be running into this issue:

This has been an issue since the latest Apple Java Update 4 and is not Snow Leopard specific.
When it occurs cmd-shift-a is your friend (sort of like quicksilver for intellij)
