I ran jetbrains ides for about six years, and recently switched back to Sublime but with LSPs. Nowadays with LLMs I just want to open an editor quickly to make changes, or navigate the code. Even the typescript LSP is faster to start than loading the IDE. And ripgrep is much faster than the fancy indexed search in the IDE. Not to mention, the search box would just half the time not work in the IDE or flat out lie? Also on linux the "go anywhere" modal would sometimes just be a black window or be positioned wrong.

They are doubling down on the state of things now by running "safe and stable" advertising, which doesn't make me feel like they're actually going to improve anything. I probably won't be renewing, either.
