Agree that it is a crazy resource hog and I don't like the AI integrations either. But I gotta say for UI and features it is very good. I haven't been able to get VSCode or neovim to offer the same kind of easily actionable code diagnostics and suggestions as JetBrains IDEs do out of the box. I'm not saying it's not possible, but I couldn't quite match it even with a fair bit of tinkering.

I like the AI integrations (they me use Claude Sonnet 3.7, Gemini 2.5 and GPT 4.1 with my all products pack) and quite enjoy their Junie tool, much better than my attempts at getting Aider working.

UI seems pretty okay, at least on the 2025 versions of the tools (in compact mode, Inter 12 as the custom UI font on a 1080p monitor) but still quite the resource hog.

Oh well, I’m actually going to try their Fleet as well after reinstalling my OS because it was worse than VSC the last time I tried it, might be better now.

It's not. The functionality gap between VSC and Fleet has further widened, and its future looks even more unsure now they backed out the Kotlin native stuff back to the main IDEs.
