I wish they would have one IDE for everything - what IntelliJ used to be.

Yea, one of the main reason I often use VS Code instead of Jet Brains is that it supports just about every language in the same project. For example if I'm working on a Python project with a C++ component I can choose between using PyCharm which doesn't have C++ support of CLion with has very limited python support.

Isn´t that the "Ultimate" version?

When IntelliJ supported the other languages via plugins, it was always a subpar experience versus their IDE's whose workflows were really geared to that language.

Its subtle stuff, but changing the way project management is handled and tasks are run for example between CLion, Idea and PyCharm made me use the individual IDEs even if I could technically install the language plugins in just one

This is exciting news. The current clion + rust plugin combo allows me to step seamlessly from rust to cpp when doing ffi work. Hopefully this isn't lost in this new rust only tool.

Looks like they deprecated the rust plugin: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8182--deprecated-rust that sucks.

Seems kind of "backwards"? Why not put more effort into Fleet so that they can eventually sunset all the language-specific IDEs and have one product to support?

A big part of why I use VSCode over JetBrains stuff is that I only have to deal with one application for all my things.

I believe all of the IDEs support essentially everything via plugins.

I personally prefer the segmented nature since it lets me more easily customize per language functionality.

Have you actually used the JetBrain products?

IntelliJ (and I assume Fleet?) is an all encompassing IDE where all the languages are plugins and can basically do everything the other products can do. The language specific IDEs are mostly skins for the plugins that just rearrange the UI to make it simpler to do specific things. Features may land first in the language/platform specific IDEs
