They out and out claimed these ridiculous adoption numbers for the new UI with the statement that new UI is not the default and every one of those users opted in.
That's an outright lie, no two ways about it. New UI has been the default for years, on all the JB IDEs I've used. I have no reason to think their adoption numbers aren't also entirely fabricated.
I'm just astonished with how jetbrains is speedrunning enshittification. I've been subscribed for a decade because they were best in class and respectful of their users. I guess that jetbrains is dead now.
Only a matter of time before JB alienates the rest of their users and fade into irrelevancy before selling to Microsoft or someone.

To give the developers their due, TeamCity and YouTrack are still impressive, and I look forward to having to use them in anger, because I know they will work correctly. I don't know what's motivating JetBrains' product management lately, but it's not customer loyalty to (what is now) a subscription product range. Crazy, and sad.
