Sure, but you should at least be able to uninstall the plugin. According to the thread it reinstalls itself on each launch
That seems like a minor bug at most? And if the plugin remains enabled, but doesn't do anything, what's the actual issue here? Rephrased: what's the problem with waiting until the next point release of the affected product before assuming malicious intent?

The thing about trust is... Once broken it is hard to recover. Here we have 2xshitty behaviors, we can see around this product. Who is to say there isn't more we can't see. Removing it seems 100% reasonable, if only for security purposes.
A disabled plugin has virtually no security implications.

By this logic you might as well just removed the whole IDE.
The policies of my company are clear on the issue. I can't use a tool I previously used safely... yep. I'll be changing IDEs. I may go back to neovim, emacs, or whatever.
I tested this out and I'm not very impressed. It's a chatbot that has limited access to your source code (the file you have open I believe). The AI doesn't have a complete picture of your project and it would probably be too expensive to ingest thousands of lines of code. The code it generates is... what you come to expect from a coding assistant. It's hit and miss, and it needs heavy refactoring. It feels like this…
This is what every company is doing in the name of integrating "Gen AI". 90% of it is chat bots. And in 90% of those places I dont want a chat bot.
LLMs have a huge role in the future of engineering, whether or not you like it. They present massive productivity boosts. I'm a senior Rust engineer and I've seen my development time nearly cut in half after using LLMs. And we're just getting started.
If JetBrains doesn't start adopting this tech at a feverous pace, they're toast.
This is life or death.

Oh, we'll get you on a wait list. Bullshit. Waitlist never came in.
It's OK to say the waitlist closed. Keeping people hopeful is a shitty move.
Then to pull this on launch... (sigh) I didn't want to have to waste time on this shit. I'll go back to VSCode, neovim or whatever if I must.
I'm more frustrated with myself that I trusted them to provide me a year+ of quality service... and that isn't happening.

A plugin that reinstalls itself to ask for money is malicious intent
Are we really equating poorly-coded add-ons to malware now? And again, I ask this as someone who lived through the whole broken experience of AI previews in JetBrains products and ignoring all of that. That literally took me less time than typing this comment...
Having a programmable programming environment with an open source core that's easy to dissect is really what modern editors lack. Also, having a piece that can't be removed or a black box doing who knows what with my code is hard for me to even wrap my head around. To each there own.

This is a cynical take. JetBrains knows what's best for its business. It knows that Microsoft presents a clear and present danger to extincting them and all of their hard work.

It's not useless, but it has certainly not been a 2x improvement.
