If you use keyboard shortcuts for everything, as I do, the rest of the UI outside of the editor really doesn't matter a whole lot. I won't be searching for buttons based on color memory or anything like that.

- vladvasiliu 4y agoWhile I agree with this point, I also like my interfaces small. Because, since I don't click around on them, I don't like them taking up space. I also use a mouse on my PC, so I'm fairly precise in case I want to use the icons. There's no need to blow them up, so my fat fingers wouldn't misclick on a tablet. I like to code with two windows side by side, usually IDE + browser for docs, sometimes on a small screen. I'd rather have the extra pixels for the docs instead of random useless space around the IDE's widgets.
- xwowsersx 4y agoI like them small too which is why I hide basically everything except for the editor itself :)
- dfee 4y agoI just wish the panels would default hide. I run bazel sync and half my window is build logs until I get around to closing them. If it’s not in active use, maybe after 5s, get it out of the way of code.
- xwowsersx 4y agoI hear you, but...when in the editor, ⇧ ⌘ F12 hides all windows except the active editor. I also added ⌘⇧H as a shortcut.
- pjerem 4y agoYes but JetBrains IDEs are packed with literally thousands of useful features. I use them since at least a decade and I discover new features at least every month. And for this, a discoverable GUI is really important.
