Let's suppose that's true, so what? Is Putin Satan now? I don't see anyone rushing to boycott US companies over its state policy... Intellij is a great product

    This is especially funny to read from someone who calls himself gorbachev here.

  Exactly. The context here requires us to remember that US, and UK, etc governments are funding and providing weapons to a genocide being carried out by Israel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides

  It's a valid position to have. Same way as our customers are important targets for Russian state intel. actors so to minimize risk we will not be using product X is also perfectly valid position to have.

  It's perfectly valid to boycott a company if you disagree with their ideology. For example, when chick-fil-a was openly anti-gay marriage (including after Obergefell), I stopped eating there. As a gay man, I don't want my money going to people who actively wish to harm me. And it's fine. It was low friction, and I've saved a lot of calories. That doesn't mean you're then required to boycott everything. Perfect isn't the enemy of good. If you feel like it, boycott.
