Please, Jetbrains, and everyone else out there, I beg you, please stop shipping these redesigned UIs that look prettier but are infinitely times less functional and reduce information density by orders of magnitude.

I think that IDEs a becoming more useful since our reliance on LLM tooling for code production increases. That said, why isn't there any good alternative to webstorm?
I've fully moved past jetbrains. The program is slower than every other IDE I use. Any time you reboot or change environments there it takes like 3-10 minutes with my tower. I know that seems like a niche reason, but when no other IDE has this issue, and they have similar/better plugins; why bother? Since the VIM addon of Spyder, I've been hooked. I personally like the data visualizations the best. They are fast and…

But I don't use many plugins, maybe that's the difference.

Sadly all the people who could build one are on HN complaining/nitpicking about the various deficiencies of Jetbrains IDEs :)

I have never spent 5 minutes on any index operation in almost any Jetbrains IDE. You might want to check your VMOptions and see if there is anything in there causing it to be extra slow.

I don't mind the changes
As far as I can tell, there is an option to opt out of the new UI, but I won't bank on it lasting long.
Switched to VSCode and haven't looked back.
Still a knights battle helmet when it comes to looking on text. Transparent Modal background to the text is were its at in my opinion. That and buttons on the side. One key to switch into the background. One key to switch the modes.
> That and buttons on the side. They seem to be experimenting with a new-look UI that has buttons on the side. I just enabled it quickly here, and it's clearly a VS Code clone. :( Just reverted back to the standard layout, which I'm more used to. Hopefully they don't try and force this new layout on everyone. Otherwise, people might as well actually just swap to VS Code.
Will JetBrains IDEs survive VSCode + GPT plugins combo?
