You have to give it to JetBrains that they have a good track record of utilizing some technology in exactly the right way to be useful and not really get in the way. Writing prompts for an AI chatbot to generate code is BS (kills creativity, creates bad and unmaintainable code that's possibly even encumbered by licenses). But simply assisting you with completing the line you already have in your head mostly anyway...? Sure!

I feel people who complain about LLMs really don't use them correctly.
I use them a lot at work. But generally as a learning tool or interactive docs rather than a code generator.
I've found them to be incredibly useful.
That's what I wanted to say as well! Most AI stuff in software development is bullshit, but full line completion is actually so useful!
It was pretty cool when I tried it on my personal machine. Only annoyance was that it would sometimes generate something I knew was wrong, but my auto-complete muscle memory would use it anyways.
My work machine is pretty underpowered though, so I get suggestions probably less than 1 in 100 times.
