IntelliJ IDEA community edition and ultimate edition have now been merged into a single product

Not sure whether this is a good or bad thing, I am just reporting this as is.

No, the Community Edition still exists and is available from github. They doesnt want people to use that though, since they want people to use the "free" Ultimate Edition with the colorful subscription link in the face of the user.

Thank you, I wondered what the catch was.

But doesnt that mean we get ultimate features for free?
