Do you mean the UI?

10/25/2018, 10:27 PMThe UI in terms of how it looks is great. It's the UX that's confusing me. As an example, I removed the Kotlin plugin that's bundled with AS using 183; and now I can't find the plugin at all. So maybe it's hiding it when I search because it's not compatible with my version of intellij, but I feel much less in control of plugins than I was before.

10/25/2018, 10:32 PMWhat's weird is in AS 3.4-1; I had kotlin plugin 1.3.
In AS 3.4-2; it downgrades to 1.2.7.
I'm not sure how to find a plugin repository from the intellij plugins website

10/26/2018, 7:26 AMi think an easy fix would be if the marketplace tab showed installed plugins too.

10/26/2018, 7:26 AMyou go to the plugin settings because you want to do something about a plugin, you type the name, it just works
