I tried it briefly but instantly switched back to the default UI. I found setting breakpoints to be annoying. Also, not everything needs to be VS Code. Part of the reason I use JetBrains IDEs is for the additional information it provides. Hiding away useful information in an attempt to look like VS Code is frustrating.

A few months ago I enabled it to check it out and got used to it pretty quick. Haven't disabled it and use it daily.
I’ve been using it consistently to test it out. I think it is severely lacking in several areas and has lots of bugs. It does look better than the original but I don’t think it’s more functional.
I Tried it but I didn't like it. On my sceen there was not enought contrast between the File Tree and the Editor.
I tried it, and stayed with it. At first I was wondering who thought this would be a good idea, stuck with it for a while since figured it would be the UI by now anyway. I am fine with it now and prefer it to the old slightly. I am not sure if this is not a self inflicted case of Stockholm syndrome or it actually is good.
I used emacs for a long time and then switched to vscode for most stuff I work on except Kotlin projects, so I found the new UI much more of a match for what I'm used to and prefer it.
I tried it. I hate it.
I used it but something I needed wasn't there and I switched back and haven't tried it since.
Interested if you remember what was missing?
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!
I looked at it (in WebStorm) and thought it looked nice and would be workable, but haven't really had a chance to use it because I've been doing other work recently that requires me to use VSCode.
I tried but keep the menus visible, I don't like the default one with more clicks to show the menu items
