1. It's written in Scala. (A language I am familiar with)
2. It's packaged as a single file; download and run. I like single file installs. YouTrack by JetBrains is another example.
The JetBrains guys build incredible products and have a wide range of products all of which seem to be updated on a very regular basis, they are some intimidatingly efficient developers :).
