Latest EAP build is absolute ****

I've been a loyal JetBrains renewing customer for many years now and despite them moving them moving many goal posts I have continued to renew.

That said I believe those days are over, seriously WTF is this latest EAP version supposed to be the UI is a total reorg, you are shoving AI down everyone's throat it isn't subtle, many of the traditional keybindings no longer work. The plugin system is all f**ked up , my settings were not preserved. And where the f**k is the git staging area gone, you can't get it back with alt 9 because the alt keys don't seem to be responsive. I have unset all my custom settings and most of the old plugins are disabled as IntelliJ just decided to do it.

For some bizarre reason I had to change the target location of bundled plugins to go to the marketplace as bad of having to discover this on my own by navigating the bizarre new UI layouts, it didn't work the first time for all … no … for some odd reason it would only list 2 at a time so I had to keep doing this until my list max of 2 finally stopped showing them.

This EAP looks like it was a vibe coding project which is why I don't believe I will be renewing after what … probably 16+ years in a row.

Bye
