This nicely shows why I like my JetBrains IDEs so much: They look at what is successful and then they don't mindlessly clone the product, but they cherry-pick the core reasons why it is successful.

I have also observed that cloud coding environments (e.g. AWS Cloud9) have become more popular and I totally get why. Collaboration is easy and you can have a Linux runtime close to your production servers even though your programmers use Windows and Mac laptops. But I've always felt icky about putty my source code into some else's hands because who knows how trustworthy EC2 really is when you're working for an Amazon competitor ;) Or more generally, plenty of European companies have general rules that forbid you to put EU data onto US servers.

So I'm happy to see that JetBrains has reproduced the collaboration and Linux runtime features, while still allowing me to self-host things on a server that I fully control.

Appears to me as a response to VS Code's remote capabilities.

And VS Code's hosted offering (VSCode.dev and GitHub Codespaces). Fleet doesn't seem to run in the browser which could offer a better UX. The remote capabilities also look to be more seamless as VS Code is still local by default and even after you connect remotely, it still mostly offers to open/browse local files (which could be considered a pro)

Meanwhile IntelliJ is rotting with months-old bugs that render entire features useless, with no fixes and no ETAs in sight. The only product that I pay money for that constantly, on almost every release, pains me with new bugs, a good portion of which are never fixed. I thought about using other Jetbrains products like DataGrip (and now this Fleet), but I'm not going to invest even more into a company that simply refuses to fix bugs and regressions.

IntelliJ IDEA along with the platform is the largest team at JetBrains and we're constantly working on bugs and features. If you can please point me to the issues you're referring to in YouTrack, I can check the status.
