That’s what they’re evidently trying to do, but it means they’re moving too slow and the AI integration feels like a bolted on afterthought (hence the reaction to failed features like this). I am a lifetime user of PyCharm but the reality is that Cursor is just so much more productive now. “Junie” is a decent attempt but nowhere close to Cursor yet.

If I rename a function in Cursor, will it modify the name everywhere in the codebase? (I honestly don't know)

Do any IDEs expose their features (like refactoring) as tools the AI can use? Would much prefer that over the LLM trying to figure it out.

For me that started with Kotlin. Not only are they quite open it is a means to cash in more InteliJ licenses, the community has generally an anti-Java sentiment, especially on Android, as if it doesn't depend on the ecosystem for its own existence. The language might have a great design, however for me that is off-putting and makes me rather play with other JVM languages, like Clojure. "The next thing is also fairly…

wow, i literally had no idea about that... thanks for the info (T_T)

Everyone is rigging reviews. Welcome to capitalism.

Right? Are 3rd-Party Plugin developers allowed to ask for old negative reviews to be deleted? I would guess that no, you cannot request that, because Jet Brains are overstepping their position.

I would LOVE to see a paid plugin challenge Jet Brains on this by asking that their old negative reviews get deleted under threat of legal action.

I wouldn’t even want the LLM for a simple rename. Volar and TSLS seem to handle renames without issue, even across files and file types (eg Vue and Typescript)
