++. This is the setup that I've been using now for a half year or so. However, I do Python coding for work, so I use PyCharm instead of IDEA (essentially they're exactly the same thing), so that I can seamlessly work with both language projects simultaneously.

The only addition I use along with Camelcade plugin, is the IdeaVim plugin.
