Hah, I wish that was true. Looking at the last releases and the new UI which is about to come I highly doubt that is true. Although adding flashy new features instead of fixing bugs in a "visual" IDE is different than developing a programming language.

What do you mean exactly with "the last release"? I think Kotlin is on a good way and JetBrains is investing in the right things like the new compiler. There are also a lot of low-hanging fruits in the Kotlin YouTrack issue tracker, but then again I accept that is better to focus on fundamental things like the compiler where every developer profits from.
