I’ll probably try it out in a while, but the only thing I potentially care about of those things is ”easy access to essential features”. If clean look makes things harder to find, then that would be a sign that they don’t know their users.
But I’ll wait to judge until I’ve tried it.
- crop_rotation 4y agoFor what it's worth, as I longtime happy Jetbrains user, I like the new look. I did not feel it hindered access to any of the features I commonly used.
- dpatterbee 4y agoAs another longtime user I agree. I think the JetBrains suite had always been showing far too much stuff around the editor that you would pretty much never use. The new layout keeps the stuff you actually want, while putting the extra stuff like 1 additional click away. And honestly, everything's keybound in PyCharm so if you're someone who tries to optimise your editor usage you probably weren't clicking icons anyway.
- xwowsersx 4y agoThis is exactly my feeling. I rarely click anything in any JetBrains apps. I have use keyboard shortcuts for every single thing and regularly add new ones if I've had to click on something more than once. It pains me whenever I see people futzing around with the mouse. I regularly try to encourage my direct reports to embrace the keyboard, it is just so so much faster.
- Justsignedup 4y agoBeen using Rubymine, their new look is great and all features I use daily are still easily accessible.
