[WriterSide] Jetbrains has released a new IDE for writing.

It might be faster and more energy-efficient without some additional, unnecessary components such as a Python/Java environment.

What?

[aflyingnoob]

I previously used TeXiFy in PyCharm, but it was very laggy due to the many plugins I installed. Now, there is an IDE specifically developed for writing, and using TeXiFy is much faster without the interference of other plugins and environments.

Now I understand, that is an interesting side effect. What exactly was 'laggy' that it was caused by other plugins?

[aflyingnoob]

It's because I installed too many plugins, which made my PyCharm very laggy. When I write LaTeX, if I disable these plugins, I have to enable them again when I write Python next time, which is very annoying. The new IDE has only writing functionality, making it very focused. : )

I see, well the issue is that plugins shouldn't cause any 'laggy' things when not in use, so might be a bug in one of those plugins, hence my question. But if you are happy with the Writerside IDE that is fine of course, personally I won't use it because I prefer not to switch IDEs for the same project (Writerside project is inside this repository in #3325)
