IDEA's configuration options for code styles are great, but there still is
a single feature, that I miss dearly:
I'd like to have the option to align variable (or field) names in declarations, as well as their initializers, it makes a declaration list so much more readable (see Jalopy project on SourceForge):
private static int _max = 43;
protected Locale _spanish = new Locale("es");

That should of couse read

private static int _max = 43;
protected Locale _spanish = new Locale("es");

You need not have as much options as Tabifier.
OTOH polishing and bundling the plugin would do the job with very little effort.

Damn. I though the spaces were missing because the issue was converted from tracker. But Jira also does not seem to honor them.

In every other way IntelliJ code formatting is better than Eclipse. This is the one thing I've found that Eclipse can do that IntelliJ can't w.r.t. formatting.
