Would LOVE to see this feature... would be fantastic if you could just float editor windows one by one. Makes all the difference in the world on multimonitor setups.

Would love to have this as well. I work for an I-bank, and every developer has at least two monitors, possibly even three. It's probably one of the biggest reasons why many of my colleagues choose eclipse; if a tool doesn't have dual monitor support...most of them won't even consider touching it. I know other guy's from different banks who have bought licenses, and they like me keep Eclipse open concurrently pointed to the same project / src! which is alright...til you start your app server.

Intellij is all about making us more productive, right?

there are a few corp incl. i-bank (as of the time of comment, the i-bank are no longer i-bank), logistics company in my city (Hong Kong) that dual monitor is standard equipment for developers.

Dual head display card costs around US$50 and a 2x" LCD monitor is less than $200. You could expect more and more development team will use dual monitor. Has the JetBrains team upgraded your equipment?
