I've been trying out JetBrains AI in PyCharm and IntelliJ. The integration is smooth and it feels nice not having to switch windows for ChatGPT or Copilot—but I'm not sure it's $10/month?

The refactoring suggestions in IntelliJ are next level. It actually understands the codebase structure and suggests meaningful improvements. Also, using it for commit message generation and it's surprisingly good at capturing what actually changed in plain English.

Tbh I'd pay just for the "explain code" feature. Helps me understand legacy stuff without context. That alone saves me hours some weeks.
