Honestly, that was a good move. JetBrains used to have many actions as popups that prevent reviewing the source code and the project in general while e.g. figuring out a commit message.

@dgoosens @afilina @jaapio @jetbrains Probably relies on centralized servers and would be a full rewrite to decentralize.

Disappointing. I never got to use the feature as the rest of my team uses VS Code. Ultimately people are using AI as their coding partner more and more instead of working with a colleague.

This is exactly the reason why "but you can disable the AI features easily" isn't a valid argument. They moved resources from features that people want to focus on AI bullshit.

I simply canceled my subscription after many years and will be staying on the perpetual fallbavk license of a version before they gave in to the AI craze.

It's a shame, but itdoes save some money.

@afilina @jaapio @jetbrains Just wondering why the feature is not made available as an open source plugin and let the community take over…#justAThought

This is a bit bizarre, surely it's a basically finished product. Shame they won't just opensource the plugin and relay.

Oh jetbrains... They merged that commit dialog into the sidebar to look like VS code, a move hated BT nearly everybody, and now this.

People use jetbrains because it's not VS code but they are hellbent on making a clone just in Java. Not the best move.

Very disappointing. It would be nice for them to release even just the server binary so we can self host the handshake/peering/relay part... I guess I'll have to check out their "Remote Development" plugin/tools to see how exactly they differ. Maybe it's time to try decompiling the CodeWithMe plugin when they release it to prepare for the full sunset of the tool?

@jaapio @jetbrains Oh no, that was the next thing I was going to propose to my team so we can pair better.

@jaapio @jetbrains vim :)

Canceled my years long subscription the moment they announced focus on AI bullshit instead of fixing the numerous painpoints with the editor, been using older version perpetual fallback license since, it doesn't have any AI slop and I save some cash. Win-win.

Opt-in as a separate plugin.

At least they're not forcing it on everyone.

No. Just no.

Just stop it. Please just make it stop.

@jetbrains The uselessisms so far encountered:- Deliberate caret movement lag- Soft, fluffy caret blinking- "Shimmer effect" fake text backdrops behind an existing loading spinner- Soft fluffy corners for highlighted text (really!?)- Soft fluffy 'rounded corner everything' island themes (though this has also just been released in the latest 2025 release too).. what was wrong with squareness on a square screen? Tabs are just rounded buttons nowThis year could be my last all-apps sub.

@jetbrains Eeek... another stupid "fluffyism" in the 2026.* EAPs... 'Use Smooth Caret Blinking' (under the same editor appearance settings)..This gem increases the CPU on my laptop on average ~10-20%... for what!?Honestly JetBrains... get a grip or at least disable this useless shit by default. Most of the kiddies have already moved to cursor or some other vibe-coding prompt editor.. stay true to the real developers who have entrusted your software for years to be the leading IDEs.

It must be a bug because I have never seen on both Windows and macOS, with and without using the toolbox. Have you tried to save/sync your settings and reinstall?

@jetbrains Settings -> Editor -> Appearance -> 'Use Smooth Caret movement' checkbox will take you back to sanity and less for the vibe-coding JS kiddies 👍🏻

@ThePSF @jetbrains The Terms and Conditions are too long and include things like:"The Participant shall not use the confidential facts and information to their advantage or to the advantage of third parties. If the Participant breaches the confidentiality provisions of this Section 14, the Participant shall pay JetBrains a contractual penalty of USD 20,000."It sure reads like JetBrains could penalize me if I post or discuss a survey question before the results are made public.

@PokerChips Yes, all in all working with neovim and language servers feels fine. But it's in the details... resizing the treesitter view for example. I even tried out doom emacs ( @bashbunni as influencer), but didn't get LS to work.

Ah. I didn't know you could still read my comment. I deleted it because I realized I'm on jetbrain's channel and thought my comment might be in poor taste but if you can read it anyways I guess I'll just go ahead and restore it lol.

It's cool that you've been trying it out. But I know it can be some sticking points. You have to learn a whole other language style and relearn it every time you want to make adjustments.

It sounds like you almost have a working environment so that sounds good but also sounds like a fluid workflow isn't quite there yet but doesn't sound like it's that far away.

A quick search led me to some plugins and setups but I'm sure you've already went down those roads.

@PokerChips I already start the project via tmux&neovim, and I am trying to switch. Code completion works (almost). But sometimes I am missing the auto-using/import insertion.

@CameronDev I start WebStorm&Rider and suddenly asks. I open the laptop on a every monday - asks. But when the dialog is open, the license server is there.

I have a question about the ide use. Would working in JVM languages within a tmux+neovim setup be a viable option?

I haven't done any work in the jvm in almost 10 years as I pretty much detested the jvm but was thrilled about learning scala. However, I began studying rust shortly after learning scala and just didn't see the reason to work in the jvm anymore. (A lot of people view rust as a competitor to C++, but I see it as the competiter to Java).

One of the big sticking points against the jvm for me was the go-to IDEs. They just always seemed bloaty and convoluted. Basically just bulky, buggy and annoying to work in. And they also weren't any that I can think of off hand that weren't completely open source which just seemed dirty to me.

So what are the sticking points against something like a tmux+neovim setup for jvm projects?

Never ending? I use JB toolbox, and I never get prompted for a valid license. It's just always licenced.
