Released July 22, it brings agentic editing into Microsoft's IDE alongside .NET debugging support for VS Code (JetBrains Blog). Read this as a distribution play, not a feature release. JetBrains is embedding agents where .NET developers already are rather than asking them to switch editors, which is the opposite of the "come to our IDE" strategy every AI-native editor is running. A refactoring tool that predates the AI era by two decades now ships agentic editing as a first-class feature, and it does so inside a competitor's product.
