I saw a post just today that a YC company exists to add AI to JetBrains products? That's pretty shocking. I mean riding on someone else's platform is always risky, but that's sends a strange signal about what both JetBrains has and hasn't built. And it's a strange reading of the room about what their customers want.
* Disclosure: I'm a VS Code/Cursor person at the moment but always interested in IDEs and coding tools.
Yeah, I saw that too - seems to confirm my laments. JetBrains, besides WSL and lack of Day 1 support for modern tooling, is just so nice around the edges compared to VS Code. I hope they can get their act together
Can you turn off AI in Jetbrain products? I turned off AI (I think it's Co-pilot) in VSCode.
AI uses tab which completely destroyed my coding experience. Now I only use AI on webpages for discussion, but not for implementation. It is the implementation that really tests my mind and I don't want AI do that for me, to make me dumber. Ideas are always easier to digest and form, but implementations are much harder.
Yeah, I think you can. You can also change the keyboard shortcut for completion. One of the great "little things" that JetBrains does is the first time it offers AI multiline code completion, it asks you what keyboard shortcut you want to use. Unlike the CoPilot plugin which just hijacks `tab`

customers mainly want the classic UI and long-standing bugs fixed. e.g. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-44858/Move-refactori...
"classic UI retained"

That's pretty good.
Am I the only one who doesn't care about AI in my IDE?
I use AI to assist with coding but I don't like it being that integrated.
