#2This looks really interesting! I'm wondering how they integrate with existing tools though, because I can imagine companies are not going to shift all of their existing tooling to Space in one go.

They have a EAP program till end of 2020, probably to gain enough attention. Maybe even migration plans from existing tools.

#4Its going to be interesting to see how this works out, it has a lot of overlap with existing tools they have.
Some things that seem kind of odd to me is they have support for "blogs", but I've never really seen a use for that. Integrated Wiki / Question answer system ( bit like stackoverflow for team) would seem a better feature

#5As a JetBrains user and subscriber of many years there is one feature I eagerly await: Automated software updates for all installed tools without having to uninstall existing software. In this day and age I see no justification for making users navigate to the website, manually download updates for all installed tools and then manually install them one by one.

Isn't https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/ doing that?

It seems to a heavy-handed solution to a traditionally simple problem. The easiest example of this would be some thing like Notepad++. When I fire it up it tells me there's an update and if I say "yes" to installing it I can go have a cup of coffee and it is done when I get back.
Toolbox has always sounded interesting but then you have stuff like this:
"Why can’t I update a tool via the Toolbox App? If you are planning to use the Toolbox App, we recommend uninstalling all previously installed JetBrains tools and re-installing them again through the Toolbox App. Your settings will not be affected."
and
"Is there a way to reduce the Toolbox App’s disk space usage? The app keeps a previously installed version of each tool to enable instant rollback. You can delete them to save space: please use Keep only the latest version setting in the app’s settings. Note that you’ll lose the ability to instantly roll back to a previous version, though."
There's more in the FAQ.
I might try it, but it sure feels like using a sledge-hammer to solve a problem that could have been done with a single "Install Update" button for each IDE.
In other words, offer the simple "Notepad++ style" option and if someone wants the entire aircraft carrier solution they can use Toolbox.
In general terms, I go for less complexity and less stuff to setup whenever possible. I love the JetBrains tools and have been a happy user and subscriber almost since they came out, they just lack a nice, simple and friction-free updater, that's all.

That's weird because I get your ideal update flow in the apps of theirs I use (Rider, Webstorm & Datagrip) i.e. a notification that there is a new update with an update now button that downloads and installs the update. Maybe it's a platform specific thing, I'm on Windows.

There is JetBrains toolbox for that, for server products there are some tools as well

That's been out for years now: Jetbrains Toolbox.
