I would love to see a version of this which can run on an iPad. Combined with the Magic Keyboard and it would make a nice code environment in conjunction with a server, or a cloud instance.

#112Does it have support for LSP?
Re: Fleet, a Lightweight IDE from JetBrains
#113Although I only speak English I greatly appreciate the fact their blog is available in so many other languages. Are their IDEs interfaces available in multiple languages too?
Note that i do speak several languages and my native language isnt English. Still, please dont complicate my programming with translations.
Re: Fleet, a Lightweight IDE from JetBrains
#114Fleet is not open source, offers little over VS Code and is not as fully featured as the full JetBrains IDE's. Who are intended to use this?

> And why does it matter that it's not open source? I honestly find this question really weird. Do we really have to explain such basic things nowadays? It may not be important to you, it is extremely important to me, and (apparently) xyproto.
And that's why you're not using Windows, Mac, Android, or iOS, but only Linux, correct? Mostly people want open source but they'll happily abandon it for convenience. That's how Gmail won over Dovecot.

Why not use intellij ultimate? You can easily add all the language plugins (mod clion based ones).
Why? Because I'm a second class citizen in a java IDE. No thanks. The marketing is also quite clear on the target audience https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/

> For C#, Visual Studio is pretty good these day We’re not talking about visual studio. We’re talking about vscode. You wanted to know why someone would use it over vscode: the answer is that vscode has poor support for some languages. Whether you personally prefer the vscode tooling in say rust, to the debugger in clion is your personal choice; but you are misrepresenting the situation if you say the latter, with di…
>You’ve already decided that without trying it. What can I say? You’re right. If it’s shit, there no reason you would use it over vscode. Microsoft had a clear incentive to make VSCode not shit: Azure, Visual Studio Online, and, later, Github. But what is JetBrains' incentive to make Fleet good?
Maybe they want to transition people from “pays x per month” for an IDE license to “pays per hour of usage” on Spaces as a payment model because it’s more granular which means more reliable billing? (Same as yearly -> monthly they did previously?
Maybe they have analytics that shows year-on-year decline in desktop IDE usage vs. hosted IDE usage and they want to be part of that market?
Maybe they want to gather a big base of free-tier users that they can up sell hosted plans to?
Why do you think they’re doing it? ‘Cause they’re a bunch of clueless idiots?
Come on, jetbrains is many things, and not all of them good, but clueless idiots they are not.
Fleet may end up being a failure because it is poorly executed, because it conflicts with the goals of other teams, or for product reasons (eg. turns out it’s $30/month).
…but it’s not a forgone conclusion at this point. Come on dude, give it the benefit of the doubt ffs.
Why would you cling to vscode and never try anything else, and critique anyone for even trying to make something similar, or maybe better?
That’s weird.

Sheesh. Please no. Note that i do speak several languages and my native language isnt English. Still, please dont complicate my programming with translations.

Vscode is more than suitable for big projects, Its not just for hello world projects. VSCode is best tool for TypeScript/JavaScript/Dart. For Java/C# it probably is not.

Over year ago JetBrains released a post showing they don't understand why VSCode eats their market: > Still, we don’t deny the information could be a bit skewed – even with the weighting we give to our survey results – given that this is from the JetBrains State of Developer Ecosystem survey, and one of JetBrains main products is IntelliJ IDEA. However, that is not to say that this is not totally unreasonable, as if…
