I've always found JetBrain products interesting . I started my dev career using Borland C++ builder ans VB5. I went through most IDEs, including the infamous NetBeans and Eclipse (which made their own "non-swing" ui for "speed". Building a UI application in Java just never made sense to me. Its just not the technology gor that.

On the dev side, I started with IDEs and debuggers and whatnot, but later in my career they didn't give me enough value, and the time needed to configure them (I remember trying to setup RubyMine debugger.. yuck!).

Nowadays I mostly do vim VSCode and recently Cursor/Antigravity for the AI.

But my theory is that IDEs are going to disappear due to AI based development. Paradigms will be different.
