I really can't understand why JetBrains hasn't integrated its refactoring tools into the AI system. Really missed the boat on making their platform transformational for AI coding. Imagine how much smaller the context would be for a tool that renames a function than editing hundreds of files. This LSP support is a good start but without the mutation functions it is still pretty lackluster. Plus LSPs aren't as good as…

I’ve been a JetBrains toolbox subscriber for over a decade. I used to run trainings for new hires to get them up to speed on the eco system as our team would provide licenses. I say all of this because I was about as fanboy as you could get for them.

They’ve dropped the ball over the past five years. Part of me thinks it was the war in Ukraine that did them in. The quality of tooling and the investment in Fleet and AI slop was the death nell for me. I was slated to renew at the grandfathered price on the 17th and decided to let my subscription lapse this year because the value prop just isn’t strong enough anymore.

Anthropic/Clause has the absolute worst UX among all the major AI products. Just try copy-pasting text, say a prompt from a notes app or a text file. and they completely ignore all complaints. Why would anyone use this crap as opposed to ChatGPT etc.?

Hard disagree. They have the best UX in the industry

These comments sound like paid PR.

I literally just gave an example.

I keep AI prompts in Notes for using with different chatbots. You can paste them normally into ChatGPT etc but Claude mangles them up.

Claude doesn't let you buy a subscription from the iOS with an In-App Purchase, you have to enter your card, and then they don't let you remove your payment info. It's just sitting there waiting for the eventual data breach.

Sign in with Apple on iOS, but only Sign In With Google on the web. Guess how you log in on desktop if you signed up on the phone.

They have that "I'm special" syndrome where they think they can ignore the most basic conveniences that every other product does.

(Talking about Claude not Claude Code, but the Claude web UX was so crap and Code's output for Godot so useless that I didn't even bother trusting Code for more than 1 day)

Jetbrains seems a bit lost these days. Look at that very recent screw up [0]. I thought about moving after 10+ years when they abandoned the commit modal, and jacked up the plan prices, but I barely understand how to commit things in Vscode anyway. Let's see in 2026.

The commit workflow was what kept me locked in to the ecosystem for so long. LazyGit was so good that it convinced me I didn’t need JetBrains anymore. If you love the workflow with JB for commits check out LazyGit. It’s a TUI so you can use it in any editor without much friction.

I just saw a video of non-technical person describing how they use claude code to automate various workflows. They actually tried vscode and then the desktop gui. Yet they preferred the CLI because it felt "more natural" With agents, and Claude Code, we are *orchestrating* ... this is an unresolved UI/UX in industry. The same reasons `kubectl` didn't evolve to GUI probably apply here. It's less about the codebase, mo…

There are plenty of GUIs for managing kubernetes, from k9s to redhat's Openshift gui, rancher, Lens, etc

big reach

I find it so weird that people are so bullish on the CLI form factor when they are literally just adding functionality that IDE based agents get for free. Stuff like improved diff tools and LSP support in the terminal instead of idk... just using a GUI/IDE? Pretty sure Cursor has had this for a while.

I have not yet had an IDE-based agent give anything close to the CLI Claude Code experience.

So until it manages to do that, I’ll keep being bullish on what works.

LOL yeah that would be a solid guess but I just sanity checked and I messed it up only in the comment, in Claude Code when I search for "lsp" I still get no matches.

might need to upgrade claude code

huh, well i got it on my work account, but my personal claude pro account still doesn't seem to have it available (2.0.76)

Or if you prefer a GUI (still separate app, so works anywhere, too): https://git-cola.github.io/
