Is any of the Jetbrains offerings even competitive. I jumped shipped from Pycharm and have tried their AI offerings a few times since release but was always wildly impressed at how far behind they were of the competition.


Junie is so amazing. It burns through credits like hellfire, but I have only seen claude-code and opencode coming anywhere close to it.

Did you use the normal Jetbrains AI assistant, or was it junie?


Thanks for the recommendation. Pretty sure this was all pre Junie so will need to try it again.


I've had good experiences with Junie and AI assistant at their bread and butter languages of Java and Kotlin. I haven't tried it in anger though.
