“More specifically, from JetBrains, the makers of the world-famous IntelliJ IDEA IDE, whose primary claim to fame is its lovely orange, green, purple and black 'Darcula' theme”

This must be a bad attempt at a joke, right? Darcula is a nice theme (I personally prefer high contrast), but surely IntelliJ’s code inspection and automatic refactoring have always been its claim to fame.

Themes are the cup holders of the IDE world. You can't sell one without them.
