I would love to see some integration with Jython and improved autocomplete functionality over http://don.freeshell.org/jython
There's Thomas Vollmer's JythonPlugin. Not much, but still
useful & better than I could do!

I spend most of my days writing PL/SQL packages, procedures and functions. But I hate the code editor in SQL/Navigator.
Can anyone tell me if IDEA includes support for PL/SQL, either natively, or via extension? Is there enough language support to warrant looking at IDEA, when I'm already using a great text editor (UltraEdit)?

For PL/SQL, I use JDeveloper(http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev) from Oracle. It supports editing, compiling, and debugging for PL/SQL.
More info at http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/htdocs/database/db_overview.html
You might want to take a look at TOAD, http://www.toadsoft.com/
It's kind of pricey, but occasionally they offer a freeware version. It does a lot more than just edit PL/SQL, of course. Don't let the cluttered UI turn you off. It really is an amazing program.
Or even better TOra - Toolkit For Oracle, http://www.globecom.se/tora/. It is less pricey than TOAD, and practically does the same. Free for Linux.
And you can also install syntax coloring for PL/SQL from FileTypeDefinitions
