Highly disapointed by @jetbrains who adopt an Opt-out model for data sharing.
I’m pretty sure one day a “bug” will re-enable the option, someone will forget to turn back the option because it’s a new setup.
Consent is to have the agreement a no become a yes. Not the opposite.
Use Sublime Text, or something opensource like Eclipse Theia.
Sure, you may have to learn how to configure the stuff IntelliJ does out of the box, but that will make you a better engineer so it’s a win-win
@entwine and a footnote, where I am located, I’m legally not allowed to call myself an engineer.
@entwine I’m denouncing the principle. The software, at that point, I will see when I will renew, in _amost a full year_ (I just did renewed few days ago…)
I’m was using eclipse before I switched to PhpStorm, more than 10 years ago. At that time, Eclipse auto-complete for PHP was in my projects totally irevelant.
I will see. Maybe @jetbrains will fix it’s mistake. Otherwise, I will see. Maybe eclipse got better since. Or maybe [neo]vim? I will see, later.
Eclipse Theia isn’t classic Eclipse. It’s basically a remake (not a fork) of VS Code, designed to be backwards compatible with VSC extensions. They even have their own plugin registry at https://open-vsx.org/ to avoid Microsoft’s lock-in strategy that plagues forks like VSCodium.
The only Jetbrains product I’ve used is CLion, and I didn’t like it because of how bloated it was. My PC fans would kick in every time I launched it, and none of the refactoring/auto-complete features were good enough to convince me to switch from Sublime Text + LSP plugin. At the same time, my work has forced me to become a build systems expert, so I have no problems having to set up everything myself. Project templates in Jetbrains IDEs may be a hard requirement for some, which I totally understand.
I have canceled my subscription the moment they started spending development time on AI hype instead of their core product.
I can still use the fallback licence (you keep the version you’ve paid a year for, i.e 2023, forever), and I will do so until it stops working, while transitioning to other editor wherever possible (nvim in my case, which I’ve already gotten used to pretty well thanks to ideaVim)
Until they stop with the overhyped AI bullshit, I won’t get a new version. And, seeing how they beg for user data in the most uncanny blogpost possible, that’ll probably be never.
It’s a shame, I liked jetbrains.
