It might not be fair to group the UX designers of Jetbrains with every other UX designer.īut it is a giant problem that the industry has been "simplifying" everything so mindlessly for so many years that today my iOS device gave me a legitimate prompt that just didn't contain enough information to decide about at all.
"This is just some incompetent designer pushing their agenda on us, breaking my workflow because something something trends" - go touch grass.Īnd finally, just to be clear: no, there are no animations - everything is instant. The spacing between the list items is the same according to a designer on Slack. The Project view actually looses some vertical space, but only because the font size is bigger (Which you can change obviously). "More Whitespace" - The vertical space from the top of the screen to the editor is the exact same. "The toolbar has less icons now" - It's customisable, you can put whatever you want in there. "Monochrome icons" - Only the toolbar icons are monochrome, everything else still uses coloured icons. Breadcrumbs in the Statusbar save some space and look much cleanerĪlso, many of the complaints that I've seen in this thread are either wrong or exaggerated: Showing the git branch next to the title makes it so much easier to understand where I am, when I work with multiple projects and branches. The shaded tool window background nicely separates them from the editor Gutters are now much better at highlighting local changes, while also being less visually obtrusive. Seriously, HN? This is the quality that you reward with hundreds of points? Unlike the author, I happen to have used this UI for the past five months and it solves many of my longstanding gripes with IntelliJ:
