Yes. Absolutely. But with one caveat: JetBrains is clearly lagging behind in AI features and none of the 30+ LLM plugins come close to the killer feature of Codeium's Windsurf (Cascade). For this reason, I've been using both Windsurf and JetBrains in concert which is a pain but works for now.

I have high hopes for "Junie" but fear it's going to be a while before it's ready for prime time.

I'm dipping my toes into AI features with JetBrains' assistant subscription. What am I missing out on?
Couldn't tell you. The fact that JetBrains decided to make it a paid add-on beyond the normal IDE subscription cost turned me off.

I wonder if AI assistant will be deprecated once Junie is GA. Anyone know?
