The marketing people and web designers need engineers to put in the
zing.
It was built by engineers, using cookie cutters. I know them
personally. They're very mulch-talented...
But it sucks way less.
The above were done on a Mac. Which is also not the majority of our
user base.
I'm sure that as a group we could do even better. We need a few key
engineering messages, filtered by a marketing specialized, and
polished by a web designer.
Personally I find that
https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
is not so ideal. Even on my high resolution monitor the graphic
takes up almost the whole screen with just a tiny fragment of the
meat (captured on a Mac). But then I'm an engineer, not a marketing
specialist nor a web designer.
If I were feeling cranky, I would find major fault with this
design.
As a user, I have to look for, and notice, the little * to know that
it's not just a Java IDE but also a Meta Programming
System!

Ooo, it does modeling?!
And I would wonder why
https://kotlinlang.org/?fromMenu
looks so much different. Did different web designer get their
fingers onto that one?
All that being said, the overall impression is indeed pretty slick.
