I work in an extremely security minded industry. There are strict guidelines about what we can and can't use. JetBrains isn't excluded for technical reasons, but geopolitical ones.

The AI models we use are all internally hosted, and any software we use has to go through an extensive security review.

This makes perfect sense. Who could possibly trust a company run from... the Netherlands.

I get that you don't make the rules you're working under, but Jetbrains of all companies seems like a bizarre "risk" factor, given their history and actions.
