Jetbrains is burning their company to the ground trying to chase the latest fad.
They're outright lying to users, censoring any critical discussion, and just throwing all of the trust and goodwill of their paying users in the trash.
I've been subscribed to the all products pack for nearly ten years. Once my fallback license ticks over to 2024, I'm canceling.
I'm extremely not interested in paying such a shitty company monthly for a VSCode knockoff. If I wanted any of it, I'd use VSCode for free. As is, I'm going to continue using the last version with a real UI designed for professionals, not this Little Tykes nonsense.

They recently released a huge bump of their AI package, they probably wanted to differentiate between the older and newer version...still they could have renamed the plugin, or at very least, mark older comments as "for an older version"

The rot started with IDEs on Linux being appallingly slow until JDK17, followed by the new GUI disaster (been going on since 2021), and they showed shades of desperation in a rambling blog post gaslighting their customers that the new GUI was just really great and everyone says so or they get fired.
Just recently, they have started not only cancelling multiple projects but also they are how cancelling dissent. h0h0h0. Who needs TV?!
But their recent innovation of a monospace font family was really great, so there's that.
(Edited to get event in better chronological order.)
This is why I never trust reviews from the official company website unless there are a sufficient number of negative reviews for some of their products. I don’t care what product it is, someone will have something negative to say about it.
I’ll admit, I expected better from JetBrains. Very disappointing.
