#2I've been browsing their site for a few minutes now and I'm still lost on what Fleet actually is.
It says it's a new IDE, built from scratch, sure, but isn't IntelliJ already the gold standard for many languages? What problems does creating an entirely new IDE solve?

I think they’re trying to move to a browser / cloud model, presumably so that they can charge more for less.

#4I'm sure this is great for enterprises but for me, a single developer on a local machine, what benefits does Fleet bring?

From what I’ve seen the difference is that Fleet is much faster.

#6> 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 basically plugins/extensions but with a fancier word?
Judging by the "Features Matrix" (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vTWt9RlJ...), sad to see not a single non C-like language is being considered.

Yeah I'm getting strange adobe-like vibes from creative cloud announcements.

It seems to mostly be a competitor to VS Code, i.e. a relatively lightweight editor with support for distributed operation (where the local part is only a UI, and everything else can run remotely).
