They changed the UI to get younger people.

Yeah, do they realize people in college like me don't use jet brains because it's not free. I'm only using vscode bc its FREE.I actually don't care for the default ui.

It actually is free, but that doesn’t seem to be widely known. When I have a new Mac to set up I just do `brew install --cask intellij-idea-ce` along with my other dev tools. If you want to find a download link make sure to add “community edition” to find the free version.

It’s free for the time you are in college, if they give you an email address. jetbrains.com/community/education/#students
