If all this is really what you believe rather than just being argumentative then how can you use any product. Usage and market share statistics are just as useful to JetBrains in that regard and you pay them for the privilege of being an “intermediate product”.
Jetbrains shows no signs of wanting to be a monopoly player in development tools. I've been a customer a long time, and I think they've done a great job of balancing making money with doing solid work and serving their customers. Microsoft, on the other hand, has a long history of willful domination and exploitation, and they've specifically done that with free products to kneecap competitors.
Ah, this really makes sense with all of the recent work they've done on VSCode's remote development capabilities. - An early announcement on their focus: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2019/05/02/remote-develo... - Most (all?) of their recent VSCode updates include improvements to remote development. i.e.: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_44#_remote-developm... - Facebook partnering and becoming an early…
Their remote development capability is amazing and was quite a game changer for me. Having a nice ide where all of the plugins work on a remote server as if everything is local is so nice!
I've been doing some AOSP customization (Android 9) and I have several remote (Ubuntu) servers hosting/building OS images for different implementations (it takes too much disk space for a local PC and even so, I have a Windows based PC because of reasons, so if I had to use VMs, it would be too slow).
Now I can use intellisense through the entire Linux folder without delays. And... a global search for a string takes no more than 2 seconds. And I am talking about a string search through the entire codebase (not just the kernel; thousands of files).
My days are brighter, my life happier, my mood changed; thank you whoever invented this!

Interestingly, it seems that Microsoft hast just renamed its "Visual Studio Online" (which was basically the same as this new product) to "Visual Studio Codespaces". So it seems that they are merging these two products. (See: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/visual-studio-co... ) EDIT: They actually announced the renaming of the product a couple of days ago: https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/30/microsofts-vis…

Emacs has had Tramp for ages, which does this. Yes, it's amazing. :)
That's not the same at all. The emacs one is equivalent to all the other text editors that were able to open and save to SSH. Vscode allows remote plugin installation, so things like intellisense work on a code base of millions of lines remotely.
The key is Projectile+Tramp; I suppose you coulde use EDE, but I prefer Projectile.

GH is clearly not innovating nearly as much as GitLab and hasn’t been for a long time, but since they have so a huge chunk of the market already they can see what works and what doesn’t work for GitLab and cherry pick what they like. Apple operates in a very similar manner - in many areas they lag behind.
I'm not sure this is correct. GH seems to take their time, and get things right. They're product leadership is really top tier compared to the rest of the tools providers who are often quick to release a feature half-baked hoping to iterate. I've rarely seen a GH feature that's not fully polished and "makes sense" on day 1. They are the Apple of the dev tools space. Less is nearly always more.
It's such a lack luster offering with severe limitations that make it almost unusable for any sort of serious project (no support for private Docker repository, no manual steps, yaml support is abyssmal, ...)

For the love of God please make it work at least manageably in phones! Tall ask no doubt, but y'all seem capable of it. GitHub does everything right except getting the phone experience right!
Do you really want to write coffee on your phone? I couldn't imagine wanting to every do that myself. Am I weird? :)
My hope and suspicion is this will have a significant impact on the number of improvements to open-source projects and particularly little things like js components. Just in the last few days, I've come across a few very minor bugs, with a one-line fix. In order to make that change, I currently need to fork the repo, download it, make the change (turn off my prettier or adapt to the repo's) then make the PR. I'm hopi…
Github has had a built-in editor for almost a decade, you just had to click the Edit button in the file: https://github.blog/2011-04-26-forking-with-the-edit-button/ (the button has since changed look to a Pencil icon) This is not to disparage you, just to note that it may not have such a great effect.
But I feel like things are set up explicitly to not work this way. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but can you trigger a rebuild of a prerelease?
It seems you need to setup a new tag and a new release version to ever get a rebuild. There are explicitly no official Actions for updating releases. A new release for a one line change seems a bit crazy (and you'll get a huge clutter of releases which is confusing for users)
I tried to ask and was told it's maybe possible if you write an action yourself .. yikes https://github.community/t5/GitHub-Actions/What-s-the-canoni...
