alt Hacker NewsJetbrains has been pushing Junie real hard, my guess is that they've been giving out too many cheap tokens to try to stay relevant as Claude and friends pull people away from the IDE.

Has anyone had a good experience with Junie, to share?
I've tried it, and it seemed fine, but not compelling enough to even spend the free usage I get with my All Products Pack.

In everyone's day jobs where they used an IDE 5 years ago, or even a year ago, are those jobs abandoning the IDE?
I still use Visual Studio in my day job, where Claude's output while VERY helpful, requires my ownership of everything, meaning I am inspecting every single line it changes. If a change is bigger than I think it should, I kill it before I commit.
I know I don't HAVE to use an IDE for that, but if the change is small enough, I am faster than asking Claude to understand the subtext behind my personal context of the product, and the IDE is supremely helpful for making a quick change across a handful of files.
