Not available in the "old" UI? Guess this is the beginning of the end.
I don't think it's necessarily better but it's also not worse. I use their IDE at work, so figured I should just adopt before I get behind with new features since I do find their IDEs to be better than anything else I've tried still.
I'm normally cynical bastard resistant to change. But Jetbrains new IDE styling is really good. I use it in WebStorm everyday and see no reason to move back to the old UI. Kudos Jetbrains.
I found for myself that "compact" version of the new UI is not compact enough. And the only way around this is to reduce IDE's font size, which worsens readability.
This is so wrong in the same way an ssh client isn't a terminal.
Also they could support limited features with other shells.
My Jetbrains software yearly subscription is the best value for money I pay for anything related to my work! Their software just improves my productivity out of sight. If you look at the prices for other subscriptions, then look at Jetbrains, you wonder, "How do they do it?" I guess they're just really good at software.
Prior to Jetbrains I bounced around with a bunch of different IDE's. When I found Jetbrains I really started to enjoy coding more.
I have always wanted a notebook style UI for terminal because I need to go back to what I learnt many times (say AWS CLI commands ...with syntax as well as output saved) The visual separation of each command and output into block seems like a step in that direction?

> The new terminal (Beta) is now in JetBrains IDEs and will be available in the new UI JetBrains IDEs are in a transition state right now where they have both a “New UI” that’s minimal and a cheap knock off of VSCode to lure the kiddos in, and the original “IDE-feeling” UI that’s arguably much better for actual work. A sort of approach like Reddit still having new and old years later. The wording implies the new term…
A more charitable take is that power-users are mostly hotkey users, so hiding the UI leaves more space for things that matter. That said (and with the understanding that I am, by nature, averse to changing my habits): I prefer the old UI by a long shot.

for me it strikes the right balance between enough "white space" and density. E.g. VS code is not dense enough for me.
The headline can also be read as new terminal(UI) interface for JetBrains IDE (like an emacs server or vim+eclim). Was happy for a moment until I read the article.
