New UI - Minimize distractions. Boost productivity. Stay in the zone.
www.jetbrains.com
This page will bring you up to speed on the new interface in IntelliJ IDEA. Despite the new look and feel, the UI hasn’t lost a step in terms of functionality and can be customised to meet your needs.

I personally saw it, thought something around the lines of “this looks like VS Code” (probably will take some getting used to), and disabled.

Curious if anyone is using it and your thoughts so far.

    I used it but something I needed wasn’t there and I switched back and haven’t tried it since.

        No, I don’t. It wasn’t anything super important but it was something I needed and didn’t feel like taking the time to find it right then. I use IntelliJ for work and not for play so I don’t really want to take time to learn a new UI when I can be productive in the old one. If I was working on a side project for fun at the time I would’ve poked around more.

          You can press shift twice in any IntelliJ-based IDE and you get the Search Everywhere popup that will let you search actions as well as files, classes, functions, etc. It’s very useful.

            Oh nice, I didn’t know it searched actions too!
