OpenIDEA: The IDE you know, rebuilt in Rust

So that I understand...

I guess the logic here is: If I love this project, I should renew my JetBrains subscription...so that they can keep having money to fix bugs in their IDE...so that you can keep reverse engineering it?

Am I seeing this right?

The Readme has that first pass vibe coded feel.

Which isn't the vibe I want from my editor.

I know this exact comment is probably becoming tedious on HN, but it's very rare that a tool I pay for is so bad I'll jump ship for 0.1.0 alpha if a clone.

Long story short, I'm keeping my sub.

Yes, you still have to pay Jetbrains to release their prompt.
