Dark patterns in mainstream IDEs, Jetbrains & Microsoft, are extremely common. Jetbrains actively forces developers to avoid the terminal for vendor lock-in.

Dark patterns in mainstream IDEs, Jetbrains & Microsoft, are extremely common. Jetbrains actively forces developers to avoid the terminal for vendor lock-in. Microsoft, ha. Embrace, extend, extinguish, (first Python, now Copilot) isn't new. Sadly, commercial software turns success into "selfish dark patterns," at the drop of a hat. I've an extremely strong urge to go to Vim. The quantity of work won't be small however. Setting up graphical debugging, refactoring, inheritance visualization, will be an enormous mountain. I'm not sure I'll ever use Vim for JVM languages. JVM languages lend themselves to enormous complexity. Likely because the IDE enables it.
