> But, they still have a solid IDE

Which one exactly? I used to love Webstorm and Rider, but there were so many workflow-breaking bugs in each new release of Webstorm that I switched to VS Code. I still use Rider, but I've stopped my All Products subscription, because new releases usually decreased the amount of well-working features (and new features often didn't work at all).

Around 2022 I'd have agreed 100%, but these days not so much.

I use only one, IntelliJ IDEA, which has all integrated, except Rider I believe.

It has full Rust, Java, Python, Web stack, things that I work with.

There were few issues here and there occasionally, but last few months I have not faced any issues, and it's been really robust. It gets slow with LLM providers running in the background on my 7 year old laptop though. But on desktop it flies.

I still very much love DataGrip, but it's the last of their IDEs I'm using, after being a Webstorm and IntelliJ enthusiast for ten years.

		Oh yes to that! It is also built in to IDEA, and It's just so good! I looked for other alternatives, but nothing comes close to their database tool. Works so well.

		Oh, I've never really tried that one. It probably goes much further than the DB integrations in Webstorm etc., right? Do you have any favorite features that could be interesting to look at?

Just to add another note, Initially I was a bit skeptic about their new UI. But, they have improved it a lot, and it's really good. Even though I hide most of the UI elements in favor of `double shift`

I don't mind the new look, I also enjoyed the previous UI refresh. But I don't think UI changes are a good use of JetBrain's resources while the core functionality is frequently broken.

One example: In August 2024, new Vue projects stopped working correctly with Webstorm - not terrible on it's own, stuff can happen. The issue was reported on August 19th[0]. Someone posted a workaround, and on August 29th, they announced that a future version will fix the issue.

That future version was released on October 23rd[1]. In the intervening two months there was no indication in Webstorm that the LSP crashing was a known issue with a workaround. Users just had to search for the issue, stumble upon the thread, and manually update the component. They couldn't release this tiny version bump for two months, or at least add a link to the issue thread.

This would be fine if Webstorm were free, but it's pretty freaking expensive, and I didn't get any money back for the product being defective for 1/6th of the year.

		Unfortunately, This happens everywhere. So many years I couldn't use Gnome properly because of an NVIDIA bug. We paid handsomely for our GPU, and they give a shit about us.
