I despise the direction the Jetbrains editors are headed towards. Even with the so-called "Compact Mode", the sidebars take up double the space of the old sidebars, while containing less information contained within them and requiring more clicks than before to get to some menus. Icons everywhere, no actual label text anywhere, and the labeling option they begrudgingly added back would be gut-bustingly hilarious if it weren't so depressing, see [1] for what it looks like.

This modern trend of gigantic paddings/whitespace everywhere and abstract flat icons everywhere is horrible to me, and I don't think it even really looks better than the older interfaces they're usually replacing.
