If anyone from JetBrains is reading this thread, please take the above to heart. I have yet to have any devs in my circle make the comment that "the JetBrains AI assistant really saved me time" but I've heard more than once about how distracting (and generally incorrect) its guesses are.

I'd really rather have time invested in making the memory footprint smaller again.

JetBrains products are such a dichotomy. The core software is outstanding but for years now I've found almost every update to be net negative. They rarely add new features that I find useful and they spend a lot of time adding useless stuff that adds clutter and hurts performance, or they change existing features for no apparent reason.

They probably put product people in charge.

Which is an incredibly misguided idea specifically in the context of a developer IDE... I mean I do understand the rationale and value for the job in other contexts. Not so much in this one though.
