As a Sublime fan, this looks really nice in comparison. However, as a PHP developer this is something I want for my Laravel applications.

Our backlog includes support for a PHPCodeEngine and framework support for Laravel and Symfony. Its not the first thing on our list but it will happen!

I'm not sure i'd use this. Visual studio is a great tool, and is about 90% of the reason I use dot net.

That said, though it's improving, Javascript support still has a long ways to go. I find myself writing increasing amounts of it as Knockout and Angular become standard place. I crave to have some of the features that I have with editing C# while editing javascript.

If you provided that, i'd buy a license. Though my preference would be a plugin (like resharper) as opposed to a whole new editor.

I'd also pay a lot more than $75. I already pay $150 at home, and $300 at work for resharper, i'd pay the same for increased javascript support.

.Net is going cross platform. What are you going to use if you develop on OSX or Linux? It won't be VS

Founder of fluentCODE here. Really happy to see this posted, we just pushed really hard last night to get the site up. Lots of good comments -- I'll just add that we will be a lot more than just a C#/VB/JS editor. We've got plans to build CodeEngines for F#, TypeScript, CoffeeScript, CSS/SCSS/SASS/LESS, PHP, python and lots of framework specific bits for each of those.

We're a small team working hard on a product we believe in. Ask anything and I'll try and respond if I don't fall asleep!

There is typo under the header Timeline, "We still have a long ways to go — here's our plan." ... Ways. On another note, why would I use this instead of visual studio?

"Long ways to go" is a bit of a colloquialism and not necessarily a misspelling.

Smart timing. With .NET pushing for cross-platform, there's going to be space for a good IDE until (if they ever do) the porting of Visual Studio. How heavy is it? I was looking for a lite IDE (if there is such a thing) for my netbook that installs all in one directory.

Just throwing this out there. I'd pay double the price of this if you included amazing F# support.

An F# CodeEngine is currently in the backlog for the v1.0 release. It'll be the kind of thing that evolves quickly I think. Thanks!

Just as a general note of interest, I too would pay double the price for solid F# support!
