TBH I'm most frustrated by a product I already paying a subscription to use having a "wink wink nudge nudge" plugin thrown in by default to lure me into a second subscription.

I thought I paid for the IDE precisely to prevent such nickle and diming? If I wanted CI/CD or memory profilers or whatnot I'll find them myself, I don't need to have some menu context option that turns out to not actually be on my machine.

Well that's what happens when some mysterious new plugin finds itself on your dev tools without much acknoledgement. See Notepad++ for a similar controvery for a much more tame update. These aren't casual users who just can't or don't notice such subtle changes to websites.

That said, I do remember some AI update in some notes when I upgraded Rider. I thought it was just some under the hood code completion experiments, but I wasn't expecting it to ultimately install a trial to yet another $10/month service on there.
