This is a phenomenon that I’ve consistently had across multiple JetBrains products going back to ReSharper. The functionality was powerful enough to keep using, but each release was incrementally slower and buggier. At least then I could simply choose to disable problematic features that I used irregularly or even just shut off the plug-in if I needed to.

Now that I work primarily on Java and Kotlin projects, I’m using IntelliJ, where the entire IDE is subject to the JetBrains effect. The only tactics that keep me productive is to significantly delay updates, keep plugins to a bare minimum (the fact it is not very rare for plug-in updates to brick your environment is really frustrating), a losing battle of identifying and disabling unnecessary functionality, throwing more hardware at it, or restructure large projects into smaller bits and import as modules. Rapidly approaching the point of it not being worth it, but I hate pretty much all the Java IDEs I’ve tried.
