Well @ jetbrains , considering the plethora of plugins that disable all the agentic/AI crap in the various JetBrains IDEs, I'll have to disagree

Screenshot of an email from JetBrains. It reads in part:
"Hi there,

With the 2026.3 release in November, Air will ship as part of JetBrains IDEs. Air is a new window for the agents and subscriptions you already use. It is not an AI provider, and it ships with no agents installed. If you do not want this experience, you can disable the plugin, and your IDE experience will be unchanged.

Why. Agentic development is becoming the norm, and an IDE that keeps agents at arm's length won't stay relevant. Air helps us shift the center of gravity of IDEs. Learn more here."

Well @jetbrains, considering the plethora of plugins that disable all the agentic/AI crap in the various JetBrains IDEs, I'll have to disagree.#SoftwareDev #IDEs

So what, they turned Fleet into an agentic coding IDE and then turned that into a plugin? That's pretty tragic, I'd been following that project for years

@kogasa I'm not really sure. I was following Fleets as a VS Code/Codium replacement but I thought they abandoned it several years ago?

Fleet has evolved into Air — our new Agentic Development Environment.
