I saw a post just today that a YC company exists to add AI to JetBrains products? That's pretty shocking. I mean riding on someone else's platform is always risky, but that's sends a strange signal about what both JetBrains has and hasn't built. And it's a strange reading of the room about what their customers want.

* Disclosure: I'm a VS Code/Cursor person at the moment but always interested in IDEs and coding tools.

customers mainly want the classic UI and long-standing bugs fixed. e.g. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-44858/Move-refactori...

"classic UI retained"

Yeah, I saw that too - seems to confirm my laments. JetBrains, besides WSL and lack of Day 1 support for modern tooling, is just so nice around the edges compared to VS Code. I hope they can get their act together
