They do break stuff they used to have and then it doesn't get fixed for years.

For example this https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-39449/Deleting-param... has been broken for 4 years.

And every release they break my Split-view workflow. It is just random thing, every time something different. The latest thing - when the current file is split vertically, new split has viewport moved to something like 20 lines below. And yes, every time it takes years to actually fix those.

All software has bugs. THis is no different to emacs [0] or vscode [1]

The problem is that they create features, and then those features BREAK later. Then in some cases they fix them and then they break AGAIN later.

They seem to be pretty bad at writing regression tests.
