If you do need something as bloated as IDEA, then something is wrong from the start.
But that's not the point. The point is: "create a virus and then make users pay for the antivirus" business model always has worked on those who can't see any other option.
the problem is due to the dumbasses out there in the world who think that a million languages in one project is not a problem
i was happy with goland before, and it has a core feature that i use all the time - an actually working symbol hyperlinking database - and yes, it is brittle, i often need to force it to regenerate, but there is no other way for me to be able to quickly go from a usage to the definition than in intellij, nobody else has done the work to make it as reliable, vscode is a joke, and it does so many things in the background with zero notice, intellij only does a few odd things that it doesn't show me that it's working, and yes they are annoying as piss
and yes, not just open the source, but make the interface expose the workings to those who are interested... that's why i log religiously
