Dear ST,
You were known as a standalone provider in the industry that offered a single tool (until STM32CubeIDE 1.9.0) capable of handling MCU configuration, IDE functionality, debugging, and everything else in one place. Developers chose your platform because of its simple and easy-to-use development environment.
Sorry to say this, but the development environment now feels unnecessarily fragmented. Separating the tools, confusing users, and making the setup process more complicated has taken away the simplicity that developers appreciated. We are now forced to spend time debugging the environment setup itself, similar to experiences with other suppliers.
You really need to reconsider these changes and bring back the simplicity that made STM32 development so popular. Otherwise, you risk losing the trust and appreciation you built with developers over the years.
Please rethink this before it is too late.
