Me too, however this is another case of exchanging IDE for text editor without understanding what is being lost, or never having used the IDE to its full potential in first place, thus not knowing what is being left behind.

I was in a meeting with a colleague about a PR for some python code. One of the things I noticed was that he had an unused module that contained an import of a non-existent class from another module. I know he uses Pycharm, so I mentioned to him that this kind of thing should be hard to miss, because the linter in Pycharm should have marked it, and the folder it's in, as red.

He tells me, and I quote, "Oh, all the files are red."

As more and more people delegate stupid things to their agent, this type of person will become increasingly common. Products like RustRover and CLion will be a much harder sell to audiences that don't even use an LSP in their day-to-day workflow.

JetBrains is probably working on a contingency plan as we speak.
