What frustrates me most is that jetbrains had a winning formula

They made, imo, the best ide's, striking the balance between intuitive and useful without drifting too far into bloat

I just don't vibe with jetbrains wanting access to my code and data and how i use the ide itself - imagine if your hammer took a picture every time it was swung while tracking the swing trajectory and force and sent it to a thousand unknown people

its just fucking weird and its fucking weird that jetbrains presses this onto us - even as an opt-in its wierd

Even at it most innocent, and not the reality of trying to build the tool that ousts us out of our trade and craft, i still dont want some code cuck sitting in the corner of my periphery hyperventilating on every keystroke and variable name i make
