For Jetbrains: if LLM's are such a terrific productivity booster, why don't you put it to work to speed through all your open tickets and get the product in top shape? In the time you saved you can build agentic whatevers.

Or LLM's aren't really that great after all? Then focus on your damn IDE. Leave refactoring by hallucination to the electron kids and just provide stable and performant editors and analyses around Abstract Syntax Trees.

There is (unluckily) a third option (the one that LLM fans like to promote):

Currently LLMs are a rather bad productivity booster for programming, but in the near future, this will change. Whatever IDE has exceptional support for the workflows that will be possible by AI will have an insanely attractive value proposition in the future.

been hearing this for three years now

I am similarly doubtful of such claims, but just look at various posts on HN where the writers makes claims how much more productive Claude Code (before: Cursor; before that: (GitHub) Copilot) made their programming.
