Because the whole way they've handled this situation reeks.

Oh, we'll get you on a wait list. Bullshit. Waitlist never came in.

It's OK to say the waitlist closed. Keeping people hopeful is a shitty move.

Then to pull this on launch... (sigh) I didn't want to have to waste time on this shit. I'll go back to VSCode, neovim or whatever if I must.

I'm more frustrated with myself that I trusted them to provide me a year+ of quality service... and that isn't happening.

Believe it or not, but I lived through the whole broken experience of AI previews in JetBrains products by... just ignoring the whole thing.

Sure, I got "sign up now!!!" buttons that did nothing for me. I learned after, like, the first 3 times of clicking these not to do that again.

Then, I was, at some point, able to sign up for the preview. It was underwhelming. Like most other offerings in this space.

Meanwhile, all the core IDE functionality continued working as before... And all was good...
