And I'm constantly shocked by number of people still shilling for it, despite it hallucinating constantly.

Plus having used it in JetBrains IDE it makes me sad to see them ditching their refactoring for LLM refuctoring.

The normal refactorings are still there AFAICT.

That implies that they were there in the first place. For some IDEs the refactoring are essentially rename, and buy JetBrains AI plugin.

Then don't complain about them going away?

I didn't complain about them going away. I complained about using LLMs upsell rather than implementing refactoring like they used to for their previous IDEs (e.g. IntelliJ).

You did, actually.

I complained about them no longer being added, not being removed (at least not yet). Look at CLion refactorings, compare this to IDEA and Rider that preceded the LLM enshittification.

For C++, there should be quite a few refactoring on the count of it being OOP like Java.

Even IDEA and Rider didn't add any new refactorings, despite Java advancing quite a bit.
