I've been waiting for years for the ability to have two of them side by side (edit: you can). Also not really convinced by the new UI (I tried it in Android Studio), mostly because I don't see anything wrong with the "old" one.
It doesn't even seem like it should be that hard to implement.
At first glance, I love the idea of the prompt being in a static position, separated from the output. Surprised that this is the first time I've seen something like that.
I effectively have that by sticking newlines into my PS1 variable.
And, yes, it's because its easier to track when the prompt is always in the same place after every command.

Upvote: little things like this somehow make it feel very unusable for me and keep me going back to VSC. It doesn't even seem like it should be that hard to implement.
So I stand corrected.
Although it's not restored at launch (unlike the split in the editor).
I'd love to see this released as a standalone terminal, like in the vain of iTerm2. I think that'd be really cool!
I used to jokingly say "Jetbrains doesn't miss!" at new feature updates, but with the new UI and the force-installed AI Assistant plugin they have been hitting straight gutterballs lately.
Did something change in their leadership?
The problem with a lot of these tools is that they fight with the shell to provide the UX enhancements (the comments in this thread are littered with people commenting that this new terminal breaks basic feature X, Y or Z. Really what they should be doing is working with the existing command line primitives as a hook for their UX enhancements. I know those existing primitives are 50 years old and suck in a great many…
Idk how they implemented things here, prolly by sidechanneling information to/from the terminal widget. Which is bad, they'd better use in-band terminal sequences for that, so the ecosystem of TEs and cmdline apps can eval the sequences and incorparate them, where they are useful (like the prompt marking OSC sequences...)
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 don’t get the extreme hate around here for new UI. I turned it on just to see and felt nothing really changed. Maybe it’s because I almost exclusively use keyboard shortcuts? I can already feel the angry replies being smashed into keyboards…
That's a reasonable suspicion, since my biggest gripe with the new UI is how it hides clear, text-based menus and labels behind more confusing icons.
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.
