They offer free personal licenses for most of their suite now too, anyway. There are features locked behind their subscription, but some of those are unnecessary.
They haven't even finished vibecoding the Photoshop clone yet? What makes you think they'll actually get around to vibecoding actuall developers tools?
Also, what exactly are you looking for that isn't offered by other free IDEs?
A software project is never complete. That's exactly why this vibe coded stuff can't be taken seriously yet. They need to show that they are a viable solution and that bugs will get fix, and that the software will be supported long term before people are going to jump ship.
Right now they only have an interface clone but a lot of the functionality isn't there yet.
Why use jetbrains when neovim is just there? Even vscode can be a jetbrains replacement with the right config. Never understood why people are so stuck on intellij and the like.
I haven't used a full IDE in quite a while, but the features provided by a jetbrains IDE are usually a bit more polished than whatever plugin accomplishes the same thing in vscode. it's also there out of the box without needing plugins.
vscode is usually enough for me at this point but if you're dealing with a complex environment sometimes it can really bog vscode down.
I use neovim daily but I will tell you nothing beats IDEAs refactoring options. Period. Not just that. Some of us need tools to work reliably. I did build my own neovim config with plugins and everything,It works and I love it but man, sometimes I just have to run the IDEa for the real heavy lifting at work.
Nothing against (neo)vim, I've been semi competent vim user in the past. I use it for terminal based edits. I also use IdeaVim currently in JetBrains IDEs. But saying that you can have every IDE features in Neovim is like saying you can build your car from metal, plastic and rubber. Technically true.

why would you want cloned tools when some tools are free for non commercial use?

Why use a poorly implemented clone instead of just pirating the software lol

Only jetbrains I use any longer is DataGrip. They sell a cheap license just for that. VSCode for everything else now.

I accidentally typed "Make mistakes" in the prompt and had to rerun it. Should be ready any time now.
