I just spent half a day troubleshooting why PHPStorm suddenly took 15 minutes to become responsive. The cultprit was the built-in markdown plugin, probably after an update. I don't have time for that.

Another annoying thing is they also removed the modal commit window in favor of a VS code style commit. It was removed without notification, and I had to install a plug-in to restore it.

IDE UI is the most important thing for me, I've built muscle memory to use it without think. When they tinker with it, it forces me to think about the IDE instead of about what I'm working on, and that's really annoying. Not enough to lead me to change, for now.
