Hey,
I'm a long timer supporter/user of IntelliJ, it is simply brilliant.
But lately I'm feeling it is becoming really bloated and heavy, in contrast to what it used to be.
Support for PHP, Rails and Tapestry?
A simple database table editor?
IMO, adding tons of features really killed it.
What do you think?

How does functionality kill an IDE? It's still responsive and resource-light, relatively speaking. As since I do development in Java, Ruby, Groovy, Rails, various web frameworks, etc. why would adding support for those environments make it a lessor IDE? Not to mention that most of that functionality is implemented using plugins, meaning if you don't need it, it isn't there.
