   Semi-OT, but does anyone here know what exactly happened at JetBrains?

   Their IDEs have been nosediving for years now in a way usually reserved to "has been acquired by private equity". But they have not been acquired by private equity as far as I can tell.

   I'm writing this from my laptop, where each keypress in a .md file in WebStorm makes the fan spin up (not hyperbole).

   What happened, JetBrains?

      I may have observed this regarding performance. (RR + Pycharm) Perhaps the classic software move of: "[My] computers have gotten faster, but JB IDEs are still slow/unresponsive, so they are probably getting slower / more resource intensive".

      They will bring a 9950x with nothing else running to a crawl. Then complain they are out of memory. (When it is obviously the IDEs themselves running the system out of memory)

      I <3 JB IDEs for their functionality, but resource pigs they are.
