I like JetBrains as a company, their pricing for individuals made a lot of sense, you buy the license and you can keep using perpetual license for that version, if you want to buy newer version, you pay slightly less than year before.

I want them to succeed, but can't see how they can win in this agentic world, where people are barely opening their IDEs, and living in agents terminal whole day and from time to time opening a PR to get a review

sunaurus•about 2 hours ago

I'm realizing I am a minority, but my IDE is becoming MORE valuable to me, not less, with LLMs.

The volume of code is only increasing. Problems that used to be solved with a few lines (or even removing lines) are now solved with changes across 10 different files.

My IDE is invaluable for me when trying to navigate this stuff. I am completely convinced that people reviewing LLM code only via PR diffs are consistently missing massive systemic issues. You *need* to review changes in context of the surrounding code.

And doing this without an IDE is just making your life harder for no reason.

pauleveritt•about 1 hour ago

JetBrainer here. I can attest that you are a primary target for Air for IDEs.

We have put a lot of thought into how we can add value for the workflow you just described. Here's the way I think about it: FSD for a car. Can you imagine trying to sell a car without a steering wheel? I still want to code, I still want the deterministic side, even in cases where I'm letting the machine do the work.

TYPE_FASTER•about 1 hour ago

I'd agree with this. I've been working with Claude on an app. I wanted to increase the size of one element in the UI. I could have asked Claude to do it, but I wanted to understand the application, as well as it kinda seemed like a waste of time and tokens.

bko•about 1 hour ago

So you're using the IDE for review? The main features you need are around simple things like reading files, tracking git changes, things like that?

That's a small subset of the functionality you would need if you're actually authoring code. So the IDE maybe be more valuable, but the feature set you need is actually much smaller and can probably be redesigned given your narrow workflow.

Is this accurate?

sunaurus•about 1 hour ago

Sure, but my IDE does these simple things very well.

Just some important things off the top of my head that I use daily:

* Instantly jumping between definitions and usages

* Folding and unfolding code blocks

* Quick overview of structures in files

* Database access, so I can browse the data and the code at the same time

Also, sometimes I just want to quickly refactor/rename some variable across all its usages or whatever. It's just quicker to do it in the IDE with a simple keyboard shortcut, rather than prompting an agent "rename oldName to newName".

surgical_fire•37 minutes ago

Likewise.

Unless you are blindly vibe coding everything without an IDE to help navigate of what is being generated to reviewing the output, working would be hellish.

And if you are blindly vibe coding everything, I am just glad I don't have to work with you. While LLMs mostly speed me up, they make serious mistakes often enough that a review is necessary.

voidfunc•about 2 hours ago

Agree, and I have been an Ultimate Edition license holder since like 2013.

I have opened an IDE for very very few things in the last 9 months or so. Im still renewing a license at this point mostly because I like JetBrains the company and it's not a financial burden but they are in a bad place.

tetraodonpuffer•10 minutes ago

same here, but this will probably be my last year, their AI strategy where it seems impossible to use it with local models without it "calling home" really soured things for me, if I wanted an always connected spying on me IDE I would use vs.code, I paid for jetbrains because I wanted to use all functionality (including AI, pointed to my llama.cpp) with networking blocked in little snitch save quick unblocks for the occasional license check if needed.

pauleveritt•about 1 hour ago

JetBrainer here. Thanks for the loyalty, and I do think as one of the last independents, we are worth cheering for. But it's up to us to earn double-clicking on the IDE icon.

After using Air in PyCharm, it's some good stuff. It's re-imagined for this hybrid world. But my question for you, honest question: do you think you still want to look at code? How about write code? If so, what are some things you'd do, if you were in charge of our IDEs?

chem83•about 2 hours ago

If their revenue-generating products are not doing so hot, I wonder what that means to projects such as Kotlin and Compose Multiplatform. Will they keep the lights on?

fidotron•about 2 hours ago

The whole "multiplatform" portability business has been one of the most conspicuous victims of the agent wave. Porting is now primarily a QA exercise, not a development one. (Development too, generally, is heading that way).

pauleveritt•about 1 hour ago

Hi, JetBrainer here with my two cents. You're right, there's a crop of folks barely opening their IDE, who don't really even want to look at code anymore, much less type any code.

But there's still a group that needs to own the result, who still read code and write code. Folks who still believe in developers and development. This group might not be loud in SV, but they are big out in the world.

I'm a Python advocate at JetBrains and our team runs into folks like this all the time.

I've been enjoying using Air inside the IDE as a way to get the acceleration without giving up coding. I get the speed side from the agent and the trust side from the deterministic IDE.

brentroose•about 1 hour ago

I'm biased (I'm a dev advocate at JetBrains), but I also still actively write code and use PhpStorm almost daily.

Yes, we're writing less code, but the job of "a programmer" has always been about so much more than _writing_ code. It's about code reviews, QA, debugging, discovery, and maintenance; much more than the "writing" part. Anyone with production code will agree, I think: the writing part is the easy part. That's where I still very much prefer a proper IDE over a text editor or terminal. I want easy code navigation, I want proper static analysis without relying or waiting on third party tools, I want a visual overview of changes that happened. I want to stay in charge of whatever is writing my code. On top of that, I want my agents to have access to the tools that have made me the most productive developer for years.

Curious about your thoughts?

throwaw12•about 1 hour ago

> much more than _writing_ code. It's about code reviews, QA, debugging, discovery, and maintenance;

Of course, but agents are also opening up new possibilities to do these jobs.

For example, you can do quick first code review with agent, or you can ask agent to add couple of print statements and debug the code until it figures out the issue, also for discovery, you can do discovery with agents and generate nice output with the details you want (although not accurate sometimes)

As a JetBrains user myself, whose organization cancelled the IntelliJ license recently, I can attest things I am doing inside IntelliJ is getting less and less. I am primarily using IntelliJ for code navigation at the moment, which is still the best one

ipsod•about 2 hours ago

I use their MCP to give agents reliable refactor/rename, find usages, etc.

pjmlp•about 2 hours ago

We not only are opening our IDEs, the alternative are iPaaS products like Workato, Boomi, Opal, Sitecore AI, Power Platform,... which are IDEs in their own way, the revenge of 4 GLs.

joshstrange•about 2 hours ago

I’ll try this out but after over a decade as a paid JetBrains customer I’ve been looking at the door. I still love their IDE and moving around the code in it but the IDE uses way too many resources. Even with me excluding the worktrees folder it gets stuck indexing/processing when I spin up new worktrees to the point that I’ve found myself killing IDEA regularly to regain system resources. 99% of my work happens in the terminal now and JetBrains has been very slow to adapt. If I get one more “can’t checkout branch, it’s checked out in a worktree” error I’m going to lose my mind, give me an auto-heal option or something. This is how work is done, don’t make me leave your IDE to fix it myself on the cli.

I’ll try out Air but I don’t have high hopes, my current workflows work great and I’m still not sold on what Air offers even after reading this post and the page about Air.

dijit•about 2 hours ago

I tend to feel fine with IDEs using buckets of resources, after all: they are specialist tools.

But I have been using their jetbrains remote system, and you can clearly see how incredibly high the RAM usage is on both server and client.

Personally I am also looking at the door, but not because of the resource usage… but because they keep putting resources into things which aren’t their core offering and it makes me wonder if they have run out of innovation in that area.

… then again, they did recently figure out how to make development on a Windows remote work… so I can keep using my linux machine while developing Windows software, so I think that earned a lot of goodwill from me.

foresterre•about 2 hours ago

I find I still use the paid IDE's (RustRover and WebStorm), even when using LLM's for reviewing code and applying corrections. It's often just faster to do that, especially with an IDE which allows for quick non linear navigation through the files (following functions etc.). I think this is where JetBrain's IDE's excel. I can live with the high startup cost as long as it is quick afterwards.

I do feel however they have been neglecting anything non-AI for a while now. I in particular loved their auto complete, and with the new guesswork AI auto complete it's just not the same. I want deterministic behaviour from my IDE.

On the LLM side, I couldn't use the Anthropic subscription with their offerings, so I just use it from a harness outside the IDE, and switch to the IDE for review. This may not be JB's fault, but it still makes their offering useless to me.

I may be one of the few remaining but I also still program myself sometimes (I weigh it based on the task). The IDE has been pushing so much AI it has been getting in my way sometimes, and it is definitely using more resources for stuff I don't use.

I too am on the fence on whether I'll resume my subscription. Luckily for JB I dearly dislike VSCode's code navigation and interface, and would severely miss their debugging tools integration.

pauleveritt•about 1 hour ago

JetBrainer here. For both this comment and the parent...I get you. It feels like the whole industry has gotten sucked into this vortex where people don't even look at code anymore.

I'm happy about our Air launch because we're being AI "realists"...neither too much sunshine pumping nor too much skeptic. We're doubling down on developers and development, both when you type and when you don't.

On to the point..I can promise the PyCharm is doing some pretty massive non-AI stuff on the deterministic side. I think determinism is the best path to trusting the code generated by the box.

neuraldenis•about 1 hour ago

> I couldn't use the Anthropic subscription with their offerings

We tried to make this work, but unfortunately hit a hard stop with Anthropic: their current policies do not allow us to support this integration :c

We still hope to resolve this in the future

pauleveritt•about 1 hour ago

JetBrainer here. About worktrees, I've seen the internal demos and we are making progress on that. It's actually an interesting problem, conceptually, about the index.

About the terminal, honest question...is that because you are looking at code less and less? Writing code less and less?

joshstrange•about 1 hour ago

Yes, it’s because I’m writing less code by hand. I mostly use IDEA now to navigate/review the code or do my own debugging/tracing. My time in the IDE has fallen drastically which is why the high ram/cpu usage when I’m not even “using” the ide are so frustrating, especially since I’ve excluded the nested worktrees parent folder (.claude/worktrees). I can handle IDEA being dumb when it comes to worktrees, I can’t handle it locking up after I’ve told it to ignore them.

I know harnesses (and harness harnesses) have a long way to go and lots of improvements even without models getting “smarter”, I’m rooting for JetBrains but so far IDEA has been more of hindrance in the LLM-era. The CLI TUI’s have become the most important tool I have and the GUI versions haven’t kept pace.

I’d love to live in IDEA instead of the CLI but so far I’ve found that to be too limiting and not as adaptable to our rapidly changing field. Maybe Air will help with that, we will see.

I want something like herdr in IDEA, a way to monitor agents, smart worktree integration, easily visualize changes and use the power of the InteliJ brains to assist in coding (lint/checks/etc).

Right now my IDE gets more in my way than assists me in shipping code.

thomascgalvin•about 2 hours ago

IntelliJ was the perfect IDE ... two years ago maybe? Very little that has been added since improved my experience, a bunch of it gets in my way, and I'm sick of being prompted to try the latest and greatest AI integrations.

I don't think that there's a better alternative at the moment, and I get the need to pump out features to keep the revenue stream going, but I miss the slimmer versions

delbronski•about 3 hours ago

I’ve been a happy paying JetBrains customer for 10+ years. This year I decided not to renew. It’s just not worth it anymore. I don’t spend as much time as i used to in an IDE. And their AI offerings are not so great. I gave Junie a solid try, but it was always too far behind the competition. I gave Air a solid try, but it was full of bugs. I wish them the best, and I hope they can find a solid product again in this new era.

hypfer•about 2 hours ago

Semi-OT, but does anyone here know what exactly happened at JetBrains?

Their IDEs have been nosediving for years now in a way usually reserved to "has been acquired by private equity". But they have not been acquired by private equity as far as I can tell.

I'm writing this from my laptop, where each keypress in a .md file in WebStorm makes the fan spin up (not hyperbole).

What happened, JetBrains?

solarwinds•about 1 hour ago

Haven't you noticed how their nosediving started right around another significant event of the past few years?

Most development was done in Russia (disregard tales sold to the West about them supposedly being a Czech company, they were Czech mostly in the name, real work happened elsewhere). Exited Russia in the beginning of 2022, leaving many talented people behind: not everyone wanted or could leave because of families, obligations, personal beliefs.

Remembering where most of JB's money was coming from, can't really say they had a choice.

pauleveritt•about 1 hour ago

JetBrainer here. I can promise: not...private..equity. In my conference talks I like to brag that I get to work at the last independent: private, profitable, European. It's a cool gig.

The answer is more like the obvious one...our category is getting redefined, at hyper-speed, and all of the players are all over the map trying to sort this out.

I like what we're doing with JetBrains Air. We know what we bring to the table, who it's for, and we're doubling down on developers and development.

That said, CPU fan on Markdown is not cool. Want me to look through it with you?

hypfer•41 minutes ago

> Want me to look through it with you?

Honestly not really.

I mean I am happy that there is some kind of response, but this is just damage control.

And, frankly, you do not need me to fix that. Of that I am certain.

I'm not running any weird setups or something out of the ordinary. If you actually test your software on a normal computer (think: random thinkpad with 8th gen intel cpu), running some random boring linux distribution (think: debian) you will run into these problems.

The bad experiences all so far have been smoke-test-level issues.

Or.. well. Product strategy. Not even bugs or performance issues at all.

But, yeah, you had to say something. I understand that, given your role as "developer advocate" (as per the HN account about section). This is your job after all.

But, honestly, sticking ones head in the sand and hoping that this passes might've been the strategically more wise move.

The problems your employer has cannot be fixed by one person taking their time and looking at an individual issue some other vocal guy on the web has. I think we both know that.

I'm sorry, genuinely.

The OP post feels like completely marketing department, no skin in the game. I'm afraid they are becoming Borland.

hypfer•about 1 hour ago

Follow-up question:

What else can one use?

Excluding VSCode and all those AI-first IDEs I mean. JetBrains' git features have been excellent. I have not yet seen them be reproduced anywhere, but, eventually, they will kill that classic UI plugin. :(

hmokiguess•about 3 hours ago

I would love to see JetBrains win, I like them as a business, though unfortunately I haven't been using their products in a long time now.

bni•about 2 hours ago

I have Ghostty with Claude open with one tab per project. Then I have IntelliJ open also with one tab per project.

I find this setup works great for actually participating in the development. To understand what is happening and keep the mental model of what the project is about. Review in progress work in IntelliJ, use the Git, Database and REST(.http files) in the IDE as the agents generate the code.

I don't see a problem with this setup is it really that uncommon? Have people stopped using TOOLS completely? That said I don't have much interest in these JetBrains AI products, at least not currently.

ookblah•about 3 hours ago

people need to stop trying to build the same walled gardens with these development environments. nobody has time to buy in at this point or try to grok what your specific vision of "agentic development" is.

giancarlostoro•about 3 hours ago

Is anyone using any of JetBrains AI offerings? I feel like they are burning piles of money on areas I never hear anyone talking about using. The only thing I ever used was their AI plugin, tried Junie once, but the rest just seems like noise I dont care about.

backwardsponcho•40 minutes ago

I use Junie at work and I have to say I'm not amazed by it. Plus I cannot run it inside an Alpine Linux VM which is annoying as all the other agents I tried worked just fine.

tedggh•about 3 hours ago

Rider was my IDE for years until they started pushing their AI tools while not letting you bring your own models. Then it seems they listened to the complaints and for a while I could use Codex but then the next update took it away. So I ran out of patience and switched to VS Code, and that was the end of JB and my dear Rider for me.

GordonS•about 2 hours ago

I use Rider and DataGrip regularly. I also use WriterCide,

DataGrip is seriously under-rated, IMO.

foepys•44 minutes ago

As far as I know, you don't need DataGrip if you already have Rider. The same functionality is already inside Rider.

GordonS•35 minutes ago

I like a completely separate tool for managing databases.

variodot•24 minutes ago

I agree on DataGrip and use its MCP weekly.

giancarlostoro•42 minutes ago

I mean, I use DataGrip, but their AI specific tools is what I'm wondering about.

GordonS•27 minutes ago

Ah. I don't rate how JetBrains have gone about it. It feels like things have moved around a lot, and it seems too complicated, with too many AI "thingies" sprinkled around without much explanation. And the inline, auto-suggested change can vary from "useful, please do that", to "will you stop flashing up all this shit everywhere I look!".

For a while I used Junie for small refactorings, and it generally does a good job, quite quickly. A couple of times I tried asking it for more complex things, and it didn't do well. I do find the UI to be a bit tricky, so it's quite possible I did something wrong or didn't add something to the context I was supposed to. Hopefully they sort out the "AI Chat" panel soon.

But now I use Codex/ChatGPT... and what it can do is frankly incredible. And it might just be me, but I do like having my AI chat UI completely separate from my IDE.

the__alchemist•about 3 hours ago

PyCharm and RustRover. It is astonishing no other IDEs have offered direct competition. I would prefer a faster/lighter alternative to my tablet, but none exists.

edit: Sorry; misread. No, and I am very confused by their diaspora of AI offerings!

giancarlostoro•41 minutes ago

The only IDE that compares in my eyes is Visual Studio, which to outsiders might seem weird, but when they support something they do a pretty good job.

darkwi11ow•about 2 hours ago

Imo vscod(ium) with pyrefly LSP is miles better than Pycharm today. Never used rust rover but rust-analyser LSP also worked great for me. Interesting which features of jetbrains IDEs do sell it for you

the__alchemist•about 2 hours ago

I don't have a good direct comparison to that, but broadly:

  - Natural treatment of multi-file projects
  - Introspection
  - Refactoring
  - Keyboard shortcuts, specific types of search etc
  - The build/run windows

Overall, it feels like JB treats the core units as languages and multi-file projects, while others, including VsCode, treat it as text files. Whenever I try something else, I look for these features, assume I'm doing something wrong, then come to an understanding that no one else does them to the same degree. For example, Zed has no concept of moving items. I don't know if VsCode does, but whenever I try that, it seems to have only superficial ability to introspect on function calls, data structures etc.

splix•about 1 hour ago

I've been paying customer for 15+ years, I wish I can continue using them another 15 years, but the current trend is terrible.

They had the best IDE. Now they went all into AI, trying to compete on another people's field, and the cost of that is diminishing their main product. Do they really want to compete with Anthropic? Instead of that they could improve the other sides of IDE. Even with AI I have to review the code. Especially with AI. I need tools to check the diffs, I need to refactor it, I need to run it in different ways, see how it works, and so on. That's where IntelliJ could shine, not as AI tool.

thedangler•about 2 hours ago

They need to fix how their AI Chat works. I could not for the life of me get it to edit files when using a local model with LM studio. It gave me the correct code to change. There is no Code mode when connecting to LM studio with a local model.

I couldn't find how to change the mode without it trying to use Junie, or claude etc. very frustrating.

pauleveritt•about 1 hour ago

Hi, on this, I can promise (as a daily user) that our OpenCode and Pi support are really good. And with those, it's really easy to connect to LM Studio...in fact, I did this for the DeepLearning.AI course on hybrid/local models.

fidotron•about 3 hours ago

The problem all these products have is these blog posts that describe in enough detail what the patterns are, out of necessity, also provide the information for the product to be cloned into a form that is then more dynamic and malleable for use by other developers.

It's clearly existential for JetBrains, and it's revealing that the opening goes for the fear with "but it hasn’t changed what it costs to be wrong" while ignoring that this hasn't exactly been a major concern for most software people for a scarily long time, including JetBrains themselves.

thereisadiff•about 2 hours ago

I think it makes total sense for JetBrains, and a bet on multi-vendor is something that speaks sanity to me. JetBrains has never talked VC bull**t and I'm glad they are not losing their minds for AI

ianhawes•about 2 hours ago

Highly recommend SoloTerm, which I think this kind of tries to replicate.

the__alchemist•about 3 hours ago

I wasn't able to integrate Air into my workflow on my first attempt. I'd hoped it would unify Claude and OpenAI, but Claude doesn't let you use it unless you are on the Token plan, which IIRC only makes sense for enterprises. I did not see any immediate advantages in Air over the Codex application, but will try it again in a few months.

I still love RustRover and PyCharm! Switching to anything else would be a big downgrade.

Side note: I am confused by the various JB LLM integrations. Air, Junie, at least 1 (maybe 2 more?) the IDEas have suggested I try.

pauleveritt•44 minutes ago

JetBrainer here. You're right about the Claude terms of use issue.

About compared with Codex, we have some tricks up our sleeve that are actually valuable for the target market we're going after: folks that want to understand and own what they've done. Watch for the videos we'll be doing (and look for my shining face in the PyCharm channel.)

On the last point...yes, the downside of choice is choice.

LelouBil•about 2 hours ago

There's an ACP connector that allows you to use Claude with a subscribtion.

It's not bundled with the IDEs but it's available on github

the__alchemist•about 2 hours ago

I could def go for some ACP RN.

TheSaifurRahman•about 2 hours ago

I think this is the future of code editors.

Two things that fell short for me:

1. No support for my Claude subscription

smallerfish•about 2 hours ago

I stopped using them last year. They were too late to see the AI juggernaut coming and their attempts at responding have been underwhelming. They should have been pouring resources into Fleet from 2022 onwards to make this, but instead it's been a series of missteps. This looks like approximately the right offering, but where's the moat? It seems like just another Cursor/Antigravity.

fundamental17•27 minutes ago

It is a broader story than just the IDE integration. That's important, of course, but the post talks about agentic development across the IDE, teams, and organizations.

I want to like this, but not being able to plug this into eg. OpenRouter or a local agent is a bummer.

Yes, as others replied, just plug in an agent with a model config pointed at OpenRouter. I do this all the time with OpenCode and Pi. Give me a reply if I can help you on this.

looperhacks•about 2 hours ago

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but isn't a sizeable part of the article about how Air can be used with any agent (section "The future is multi-vendor")

It supports ACP, so you can use it with any ACP speaking harness including many that would work with local agents

dude250711•about 3 hours ago

I am unlikely to renew my ReSharper licence without at least a 75% discount:

- It sees very little investment ever since they introduced Rider.

- They give out VS Code one for free, yet the VS users are neglected.

- Touching code manually is outdated by agents anyway.

spockz•about 3 hours ago

Refactoring when you know the shortcuts and what you want to do is still significantly faster and less error prone than letting an llm do it. That is why I started semedit[0], to bring semantically editing to LLMs. I’m still working on the benchmarking harness but the first results where I get the llm to actually use the tools look promising.

darkwi11ow•about 3 hours ago

Just yesterday tried Intellij ai assistant setup and it sucks. I mainly use Cursor but also have Codex sub, and since version 3.15 Cursor made changes that nerfed Codex experience inside IDE, so I reluctantly look for replacement that could allow me to use both from a single interface. Intellij kinda allows for that unified interface, but is very prototype-y quality, missing features from both Cursor and Codex, can not import historical conversations and their auth UX is meh. Not sure if they will be able to catch up to competition from there.

jasontheda•about 1 hour ago

hey darkwi11ow, would love to hear more about the fricition you experienced in the setup! don't want people immediately moving on when they haven't even had the opportunity to experience the tool!

darkwi11ow•about 1 hour ago

Hey few things that are deal breakers for me (I tried Intellij IDEA community edition, AI assistant)

1) Import of historical data from agents. I often look up past agent sessions and require search into them as a primary feature of the harness. I know for a fact that historical conversations are not encrypted for both Codex and Cursor on a local filesystem, so Intellij tool could import them into ai assistance plugin even before user is authenticated with either Cursor or Codex. There are few annoying things in search for both Cursor and Codex extensions, so having great search over past conversations could be a great introductory feature

2) Auth .. I am not sure about this one technically because I haven't looked myself into how agent auth is done for Cursor and Codex, but at least for Codex, their IDE extension for vscodium/cursor/zed/etc. is able to use existing authentication from the CLI codex tool, so I do not need to login into every new IDE I try Codex extension in. With Intellij Codex auth did not work at all for me.

3) Cursor authentication worked, though I needed second one for Intellij while being logged in with CLI, but the model reasoning level is not selectable from within ai assistant, one more deal breaker for me unfortunately (I found it stays like this for a long time: https://forum.cursor.com/t/intellij-cursor-acp-reasoning-lev...)
