Am I missing something?
Like the Microchip IDE, the Atmel one is available as a free download.
You do not need to buy the DVD unless you don't have a reasonable
broadband connection.

MPLAB will probably have the necessary profiles added at some point but
that will bring things under the Microship licencing scheme. I was
running free versions of MPLAB but the 'new improved' one MPLAB X is yet
another change to style ... http://www.microchip.com/mplab/

I don't actually need the stand alone IDE's as I've been running Eclipse
for code development across many languages and platforms ( very rarely
Java though ) and since ARM directly support the GNU ARM toolchain this
has become a good base to expand on.
http://www.atmel.com/tools/atmel-arm-toolchain.aspx provides the
official Atmel Device Family Packs although most development boards have
their own tailored set of files for the ARM toolchain ...
