That extension is a competitive advantage that's crippling Jetbrains. Just business as usual.

What's preventing Jetbrains from making their own remote plugin if it's really crippling them? Also Jetbrains IDEs are closed source software, unlike VS Code, why are we supposed to feel bad for them again? That they're not making even more money?

Not all of them:

1. https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community

2. https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-plugins

3. https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/ (see how the Community Edition is Open Source)
