JetBrains heeft versie 14.1 van de ontwikkelomgeving IntelliJ Idea uitgebracht. Out-of-the-box is IntelliJ Idea bedoeld voor Java-ontwikkeling en de daarvoor beschikbare frameworks, maar met behulp van plugins kan het ook prima worden gebruikt voor andere programmeertalen, zoals php, Python, Ruby, Scala en meer. Verder is IntelliJ Idea ook geschikt voor mobile development. Zo is Android Studio op IntelliJ gebaseerd en kan het voor Apache Cordova/Phonegap worden gebruikt.
De belangrijke verbeteringen in versie 14 zijn de nieuwe Java decompiler, ondersteuning voor nieuwe versies van talen en frameworks, betere snelheid van de editor en een overzichtelijker settings-scherm. In versie 14.1 zijn verder nog de volgende verbeteringen aangebracht:
