Obviously the narrative will be AI CLI impact but the quality of IntelliJ has taken such a nose dive that I was already looking for alternatives before Claude Code took over the world. IJ used to be one of my most respected pieces of software, it was solid, performant, and the new features were generally thoughtful and well done. That started changing around 2022 and the IDE has been driving the wrong way down a one way street since.
