    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.
