Just recently, they have started not only cancelling multiple projects but also they are how cancelling dissent. h0h0h0. Who needs TV?!
But their recent innovation of a monospace font family was really great, so there's that.
(Edited to get event in better chronological order.)
That's an outright lie, no two ways about it. New UI has been the default for years, on all the JB IDEs I've used. I have no reason to think their adoption numbers aren't also entirely fabricated.
I'm just astonished with how jetbrains is speedrunning enshittification. I've been subscribed for a decade because they were best in class and respectful of their users. I guess that jetbrains is dead now.
Only a matter of time before JB alienates the rest of their users and fade into irrelevancy before selling to Microsoft or someone.
To give the developers their due, TeamCity and YouTrack are still impressive, and I look forward to having to use them in anger, because I know they will work correctly. I don't know what's motivating JetBrains' product management lately, but it's not customer loyalty to (what is now) a subscription product range.
Crazy, and sad.
They're outright lying to users, censoring any critical discussion, and just throwing all of the trust and goodwill of their paying users in the trash.
I've been subscribed to the all products pack for nearly ten years. Once my fallback license ticks over to 2024, I'm canceling.
I'm extremely not interested in paying such a shitty company monthly for a VSCode knockoff. If I wanted any of it, I'd use VSCode for free. As is, I'm going to continue using the last version with a real UI designed for professionals, not this Little Tykes nonsense.

I’ll admit, I expected better from JetBrains. Very disappointing.
