I’m not sure it’s “immoral”. The UI for things will have to change as products have features added, and older UI concepts might not work as well with new features. I believe JetBrains is trying to solve a problem that actually exists here: any flavour of IntelliJ is VERY confusing since there’s many different places where actions are kept. They’re running into a wall where anything new ends up adding more icons in various spots where there’s room (eg. the Jetbrains space plug-in that adds a little space icon into the top bar, a side panel, some context options, and extensions into the app menus.
Seems like it’d need a top down rewrite at somepoint, and they’re open about taking feedback. But “don’t change anything” isn’t really feedback.
