Recommendations for opensource Jetbrains equivalents? (programming.dev)

Equivalents because VSCode and its forks are not an equivalent.

TL;DR Jetbrains is getting worse, more like VSCode. I want out to something as powerful but not VSCode like (which is worse).

Jetbrains has been chasing VSCode's popularity to the detriment of its own product.

The modal commit dialog is now opt-in, behind a nearly hidden, advanced parameter and will be removed in the not so distant future. This was part of their effort to make the UI "leaner" and more like VSCode so now Jetbrains IDEs look more like it.

Some keyboard shortcuts have also had to be changed to be more like VSCode.

Jetbrains used to have a good docker integration, but that's either unmaintained or undergoing work to support dev-containers better - something that jetbrains practically had nearly a decade ago, which allowed you to code on another server (remote development).

AI Assistant and Junie (their coding agents which I have to use for work) have consistently been behind the curve and just keep getting worse. They have 2 separate products for agentic development and can't decide which to keep, so they duplicate efforts and fail at both. Now I'm asking my employer to just give me Cursor like the rest of the team, so I don't have to put up with this Jetbrains crap.

Privately, AI it's non-starter anyway, but my guess is that Jetbrains is also focussing more development efforts on that than actually fixing existing bugs.

But that's what I already have and it doesn't work properly.

Here's my minimal test case for a typical mid-work layout:

Open a window
Open 4 new tabs
Type the tab's number in each tab so it's easy to tell them apart when trying to switch between them
Drag tabs 3 and 4 to the right side of the window so that the result is a window with 2 panes each of which contain 2 unique tabs.
Click on Tab 1 to select it

Now the test:

Press Ctrl + Tab to switch to tab 2. Works
Press Ctrl + Tab to switch to tab 3. Does not work, tab 1 is selected instead

The tab switching is stuck switching only the tabs in that pane, counter to the way every other tabbed program works.

Holding Ctrl + Tab should cycle through every tab.

Maybe the keymap setting isn't correct? e.g. maybe you put it in the wrong context?

This is what I have:

I see pane: activate next item and tab switcher: toggle both set to Control Tab (⌃⇥).

Maybe they're incompatible?

Edit: I rebounded both keybinds into separate unused keybinds and it still doesn't work.
