   The fact that such a basic operation that has been available in the Java editor for such a long time highlights how much of a pain it is to work with Kotlin.
   So many things that work in Java don’t in Kotlin and it is not a Pleasure to Develop!

   e.g.
   Alt-Enter to implement an interface from a library tries (and fails) to implement it in the library instead of my source!
   Pasting a class reference doesn’t auto-import puts the fully qualified class name
   That FQN is often not recognised
   Moving classes to different packages doesn’t update other references
   Other refactoring (that I can’t remember the details of!) fails to complete properly

   This feels like when the Gradle plugin was announced 7 years ago and it still doesn’t have the same functionality as the Maven plugin.

   I had problems with my Kotlin projects upon updating IDEA to 2018.1. On 2017.3 I had Kotlin’s plugin version at 1.2.31. When I updated, this version was no longer available and I lost association with all my .kt files as well as being unable to build any gradle project.

   The catch here, unfortunately, is to downgrade Kotlin’s version to 1.2.30 in build.gradle.

   Any idea when Kotlin’s plugin 1.2.31 is going to be available on IDEA 2018.1?
