All respect to JetBrains, I’ve loved several of their IDEs… This was a dumb idea from the start. Way too niche and specialized. Honestly the allure of a purpose built language specific IDE is losing it’s lusture as well with modern architectures often blending several languages, configuration frameworks, IaC…

Yeah, I tried it out to see what they were doing and just didn’t see the point. Just make a plug-in for IntelliJ.

The article says they are making a plug-in.

Instead of a standalone product, JetBrains is pushing Aqua’s functionality into the Test Automation plugin. This plugin is available for JetBrains’ more established IDEs, such as IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm, and WebStorm.

I used to like purpose-made IDEs when i was just starting out with Java years ago, but these days, these are a hard sell for me.

A lot of Jetbrains plugins are incredibly opinionated, and you either have to use it their way, or gut the IDE, where half of its purpose loses value.

DIY editors like VSCode aren’t perfect but they’ve opened up a whole new market for things
