alt Hacker NewsAround a year ago, the org I was working for ditched jetbrains (including teamcity) due to alleged Russian links of some of the founders/owners of jetbrains.
Never looked into it further, but might be a factor...

Jetbrains is one of the very tiny number of companies that actually severed their russian links.
Unlike others, like LG or Samsung, that put out a couple of press releases claiming they exited but in reality still do business including marketing or operating factories in russia. Or Apple that just switched all their business through neighboring countries and still continue to remove any app russian government demands and pays all the fines they get
They put out multiple statements in support of Ukraine. They also indefinitely closed their Russian offices.
