Acquisitions can be a mixed bag - sometimes they are a cause for celebration, sometimes quite the opposite. However, today we'll mostly talk about the former case.
1. You said Gradle 8.6 when I think you meant Gradle 8.5. I’m just glad that it works on Java 21, though it introduced a whole new series of “warnings” (something about agents not being available in the future) that I can’t seem to disable and interrupt my console output on every single freakin’ build. :(
2. You also said Spring templates when I’m pretty sure you meant String templates. My first reaction to those was that they’re about the ugliest syntax Java ever introduced (and I remember when anonymous inner classes were shiny and new), but I’m forced to admit I’m starting to get used them, though I haven’t worked with them yet.
3. You mentioned that the AI Assistant in IntelliJ cost $10, but I think you meant $10/month. Still, I’m sufficiently addicted to it I bought it right away.
4. By far my favorite usage of the AI Assistant is to generate commit messages. I often wind up editing the summary, but including all that detail about the individual file changes is fantastic.
5. I, too, have both the AI Assistant and ChatGPT (including GPT Chat, which I only use rarely). In the latest version of IntelliJ I’m getting a lot of errors from ChatGPT, which is annoying as I’ve come to rely on it as well. Oh well. Hopefully all that will get resolved without me having to do anything.

Thanks again for another excellent issue!
