Even with it off, the autocomplete has been made less useful from previous years.

and that fact really destroyed my year-long appreciation of the engineering at JetBrains.

also you can no more auto-complete to symbols defined elsewhere in your project. what a joke.

    I have used them for php, ruby , database and c the last decade; spent thousands of hours using their editor.

    While I had several issues and reported bugs during that time, I had no breaking changes.

    Then last year I simply did not update at all. I rolled back to the last version in 2023 because the bugs from the new ai were so bad, I could not even copy paste without pasting as text only. Dozens of other new issues. Many of them, I think, only happened with large code bases.

    I lost confidence in them, I am still using the last version of last year, have not looked at the bs of latest version.

    Their code base was fragile, they always had issues after a major upgrade. But the new AI layer probably caused issues that will not be resolved, never mind the nonsense of whatever marketing is dictating this year
