As opposed to the subpar software quality produced these days by the big tech companies (who even knows if Microsoft Outlook for macOS even has a functional product team), JetBrains have been continuously delivering new features and innovations in their products in ways which make my work and life better and easier.

I have been using JetBrains products since 2003, and it's rare to encounter such a long-term commitment to quality and users in software in the corporate space.

A new IntelliJ quarterly release is still something to be excited about since it solves real problems for developers.

Their quality has taken a hit in recent months. But few years ago I remember thinking Rider is one of the best softwares I used.

I would prefer it to be a bit more snappy. I bought Intel 12700K for IntelliJ but still doesn't feel snappy.

out of the loop here: with everyone using zed and cursor these days, what is the status of intellij? does anyone use intellij anymore? has their traffic crashed by 80% like stackoverflow? the reason i ask is because it has been a really long time since i even saw a mention of this IDE on HN

At some point I shifted from eclipse to intellij idea. And with other features also loved the Darcula theme.

How to start the game by the way?

Thank you!
