The latest release fixed an open issue I had for 4 years. It was to make the hover for Typescript types look more pretty. They were motivated to finally fix this cause someone else did it for vscode.
I'm just glad they fixed it and their products are the best in the industry.
There's an interesting article that explains why that is the way it is

Depends on your language. For me it has been great. Been using CLion for several years now with the Rust plug-in, and recently they began work on a dedicated IDE for Rust :D

Yeah I primarily use DataGrip and Rider. I use DataSpell with the R plugin, and Pycharm is a godsend when I have to program something in python. I don’t do it very often and really appreciate pycharm’s ease of use.
Rider is a great, lightweight alternative to visual studio 2022. And honestly DataGrip is perfection and shouldn’t be touched.

Also use Rider and I don't think there is stagnant development. Their new predictive debugger is a great example of feature improvement.
Only downside is the cost of CPU/Memory, as I do IntelliJ for web development and Rider for C#. Can be quite heavy. But the products themselves make up for it in base features over something like VS Code.
In terms of new features, for me that's ok. However, the amount of bugs in their bugtracker goes up and up. Also, the CPU/memory usage of their tools is a shame.
It feels like a company that started off great but then began coasting on their lead and has largely lost focus. The products are still very good for the most part, but most updates end up being a waste of time.
