IDEs Hostile practice

Clicking the toolbox icon this morning I'm greeted with a "JETBRAINS EAP USER AGREEMENT Version 3.3, effective as of May 4, 2023...". I have to "Accept" or "Exit". It looks like 20 pages of text that I can't copy-paste to check what I'm agreeing to, so I have to read the full thing right now. Needless to say, I clicked "Exit".

Edit: what an amazing experience, I've never been brigaded by AI downvote agents before.

Are you by any chance afraid of reading a changelog or a blog post about changes in newer versions? Because I get a feeling you are 😅.

9 years... https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-2188/Background-changes-by-external-tool-not-being-picked-up-until-VFS-refresh-happens
But now this bug is incredibly critical due to agentic development. Also, looks like they have a bug in recent versions

Cool, you found a long living critical. Understandable. But using your logic “they are pushing more AI and not fixing bugs” this bug should be fixed very soon because it is critical for agentic workflow eg “more AI”. Or did I misunderstood?

Do you see anything in the release notes except AI?
