> Fleet is our new distributed polyglot editor and IDE. Ok, polygot makes sense, it supports more than just one language. But what does distributed mean in this context? You run the editor across many machines? What does that mean? Coming from a backend perspective, it quite doesn't make much sense. Thinking about it from a client-side perspective, I'm guessing they mean the architecture is decoupled, meaning basical…

That is why one has the IT department configuring development images. I remeber there was a blog post from JetBrains where they complain about VSCode taking over InteliJ market, by indirectly asserting they don't understand why VSCode adoption was rising. Surprise surprise, a couple of months later Fleet was announced.
I'd say they still don't understand why VSCode adoption is rising. There are two reasons: - People don't know better (yes, they really don't) - Language server allowed languages with abysmal tools to finally have some semblance of an IDE None of us know the future, but in my opinion Fleet is a mistake: - It tries to fight VSCode at VSCode's turf (an editor with primitive IDE functionality) - while trying to be a test…
Or maybe VS Code is just really good? I was skeptical for a long time as well. I am a longtime Emacs and JetBrains IDE user (starting with IntelliJ in 2013). A while back I gave VS Code a try again. I primarily used CLion for Rust and PyCharm. And I found that the Rust/Python is at least as good as in CLion/PyCharm (with the exception of Cython). And thanks to VS Code's rich plugin ecosystem, I have a Magit implementation that is almost as good as Emacs Magit, the same with VSpaceCode to get Spacemacs/Doom-like spacebar-driven workflows.
My JetBrains All Products Pack is up for renewal later this month, but I am seriously considering to let it lapse...
1. My M1 temp went from 28c to 60c
2. CPU utilization to 103%?
3. It's using 3.29Gb of RAM
And it hasn't changed.
With a single python project with 3k lines of code.
VSCode sits at 280Mb and CPU temp around 28c.
Edit:
Vim + SpaceVim sitting at 17Mb :)

Personally I work on React projects so my first thought was: "is there a Prettier[1] plugin?". This just reinforces my feeling that a major driver behind VSCode's popularity is that people just don't know better [1] 1. Download WebStorm (or IDEA) and write some React in it. And Typescript.

>It's leaps and bounds ahead of VSCode It's also paid vs free. For some reason, some people are very reluctant to pay for tools, even though they use them every day in their job.
This also really baffles me. You can see it a lot in various discussions even here on HN.
I installed this 30 min ago. 1. My M1 temp went from 28c to 60c 2. CPU utilization to 103%? 3. It's using 3.29Gb of RAM And it hasn't changed. With a single python project with 3k lines of code. VSCode sits at 280Mb and CPU temp around 28c. Edit: Vim + SpaceVim sitting at 17Mb :)
What I like about VSCode is that is slick and lean without plugins, and with remote support it is still "light"... And I was a huge Emacs, Emacs-org fan, so if I use VSCode because it gets the work done at the end of the day (TM)

It's okay. And its ecosystem is also anywhere from okay to abysmal.
For languages (like Rust) that never really had any tools to begin with it seems like an amazing IDE/editor. In comparison to what IDEA offers for more established languages (anything from language support to framework support) it's ... just okay :)
This looks really promising. But by far the biggest moat that Jetbrains is going to have to cross to get into VSCode territory is the plugin ecosystem. Personally I work on React projects so my first thought was: "is there a Prettier[1] plugin?". Looking through the landing page it looks like Plugins are in the works but until that is implemented, it's going to be hard adopting it. ALSO I just noticed this but can so…

What if my employer has N repos and several other languages, and JavaScript is just one of those.
VSCode allows me to stay with the same interface across multiple different repos.
Yes, if I’m doing Ruby or Java or C# I might choose a _different_ IDE for certain tasks in that language. But with a few plugins you can get a reasonably good generalist tool in VSCode, and even a pretty full featured one for certain languages

Sure but WebStorm is targeted solely/mainly at JavaScript development. What if my employer has N repos and several other languages, and JavaScript is just one of those.

You should try paying for an IDE. VSCode is great but if you're an engineer getting paid anywhere close to a Silicon Valley wage (or you can expense devtools), you deserve better :)
