    All respect to JetBrains, I’ve loved several of their IDEs… This was a dumb idea from the start. Way too niche and specialized. Honestly the allure of a purpose built language specific IDE is losing it’s lusture as well with modern architectures often blending several languages, configuration frameworks, IaC…
