If they end up removing the current UI I’ll end up cancelling my subscription. I’ve been a very happy paying customer for over 8 years now but this is ridiculous.

The current UI has text (!!) tabs instead of bland non descriptive icons. It has toolbars and menu items that I can configure.

I understand that the current generation of new developers are intimidated by so much raw power at their hands ;) But we have got to stop dumbing things down. It is killing a lot of experience and knowledge and will come back to haunt us as a society.

Jetbrains is currently THE reference when it comes to professional IDEs, changing what they’re doing will not go well for them :-(



Based on how they interacted with the users when they removed the colors for the icons, I don't think they care about user feedback and will just post made up reasons for the change ("colors are distracting when coding").

The new generation is fucking things up for us. Text > icons.
