Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have absolutely 0 idea why any developer would rely on any IDE produced by google. It'll be canned within 5 years max, with 3-4 seeming like a reasonable estimate of the lifespan of the product I've been using my current IDE for 17 years, and plan to continue using it for at least another 15

You mean Android Studio will be canned in 2018 max with a reasonable estimate of 2016-2017?

Isn't Android Studio based on IntelliJ and not a product developed from ground up? And Android Studio has second order revenue from the playstore.

I wouldn't be even surprised if internally the AS team's financials are counted under the Playstore umbrella.

I recognize the guys in the video, they were in marketing videos for the Windsurf IDE before its founding team was cannibalized by/absorbed into Google.

Kevin was CTO / head of product engineering at Windsurf, Anshul was a founding engineer

Why is google so bad at product branding and strategy? My complaint is aesthetic: why would you name your product a five-syllable word??

Its clearly a reference to the xkcd comic which does have mindshare.

Which comic would that be?

Later edit: Probably this one [1], which is par for the course for Alphabet, they're, conceptually, still living in the early 2010s, when this stuff was culturally relevant.
