Most of it is Open Source and on GitHub, anyway. So you shouldn‘t be surprised to see source code.

The Community edition lacks certain features, though.

Oh right, I always assume that JetBrains has the same strategy across its tools. Happened not for the first time. Thanks for reminding me!

I remember go being a plugin to intellij idea. Now it's not. Sadly. I wonder how they got over with this plugin having been opensource

As far as I'm aware, all their IDEs are based on IDEA, almost acting as IDEA+special plugin, so a lot of code will still be the same. Of course, the language-specific stuff is not open, but as others have said, Java bytecode is fairly easily decompiled anyway.
