jetbrains is being run by crazies lately. f the new gui.

i should qualify this: jetbrains product management is being run by crazies lately.

Is it just me, or is remote development making the dev experience crappier? The modal commit has been a much better overall UI to review and clean the entire PR before submission, in a more-productive section of the overall UI.

This isn't a comment on the overall "new UI" which is a big step backward in discoverability and usability.

I think the issue is more "where is my sane log view? ..local changes view?" without it.

Well said. Which is a big part of it.
