How dare I polish and remove kludges from previous releases. ๐
Also, none of those kludges would have even been necessary if the project scope was properly defined from the start and the project manager didn't let the users keep trickling in new requirements without also extending the deadline.
So yeah, how dare I go back and implement something the way it should have been done the first time?
The trouble is that, apparently, "perfect UI" can mean "let's take all the sidebar tabs, remove their text labels and make all their icons really abstract and in the same colour. Oh, and change their order, too, while you're at it."
Thank you from the bottom of my muscle memory and pattern recognition. Now, give us back our old UI that was actually meaningful, or at least make it an option if you insist that your "clean look" is more important than actual usability.
^(Apart from that, I love you JetBrains.)
Really true. I hope "new UI" stays optional until I retire or become a potato farmer. I haven't worked long enough at Microsoft to deserve geese.
I admire your logic and life plan.
But, "deserve ... geese"? Need more data.
