I am still using PyCharm 2021.2.3 which I think is the best version. New versions have messed with the diff window which I use in my workflow. In addition, I have to "trust project" when opening a new project. I don't want to trust ANY project to run code on my machine without me inspecting it. And every time you open the project it nags you to do so. Paradoxically you need to suffer through the nags while you figure out what the project wants to run (IF anything). I mailed them about this, and their response was to open a ticket in their tracker. I couldn't be bothered to reset my forgotten password. Judging by the screenshots, this new UI shows 2 more lines on the screen for the cost of having to click around until you learn what the new icons do. What is the point of removing the text labels? The toolbars are mostly blank anyway.

> New versions have messed with the diff window I only remember one significant change for the past several years: moving it into the main git panel (which is at the bottom of the screen and is hidden behind alt+9 if you're using the default settings). It's fully configurable. Ctrl+Alt+A → "show diff preview". And then (optionally) this: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-276156/Regular-Show-Diff-opens-a-new-window#focus=Comments-27-5124243.0-0 https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-276156/Regular-Sho...

  Preview Diff is entirety is pointless to me. I don't understand how people use it - it is uncomfortable reading a diff in the tiny docked view. Making it default alienated me (and the "trust" issues finished the job). Version 2021.2.3 does what I want out of the box, and I think I'll never update.
