Probably because they're obsessed with LLMs and heavy usage for coding reduces quality.
@Feyd I think they're fighting to stay relevant, and that means focus on AI. The market share of people that do not want it in the IDE must be minuscule, if the entire team jumped the gun. I agree they used to be the reliable choice, the IDE that just works, and works best. It seems this image is being sidelined in favor of keeping up with what the majority needs from them in order not to switch to Cursor. @slesa
@calinpristavu @Feyd @slesa I understand why they offer AI tools in their IDEs, but I don't see why they need to heavyly use them themselves. Also from time to time it just feels like there is a mid-sized to big project missing in there testing-efforts
They had issues before LLMs, so maybe that's not what happened internally
@sukhmel could be, it's just the timing, and that it's affecting almost all releases since about the integration of "full line code completion"
@calinpristavu @Feyd That is exactly what happened to #Borland. They gave up their roots and lost everything... :/
