The older Jetbrains IDEA IDE is a monolithic local application. >But what does distributed mean in this context? Is there a long term commercial plan to let the VSCode team justify themselves. The question VSCode users might wonder about is what's Microsoft's strategy here? They have plenty of money, but then again so did Sun/Oracle and IBM. In the meantime IntelliJ continues to develop new features. Eventually it gets stripped to a handful of devs and donated to Apache. The original passion-project founders have moved on, leaving behind maintenance devs who aren't motivated to defend it.

Usually what happens is that after enough years have passed, the company funding the free IDE starts to wonder why exactly they're spending so much money to give away the results. Heck there are probably others I don't know about. First there was NetBeans (bought and open sourced by Sun very early), then there was Eclipse (developed and open sourced by IBM), now there is VSCode. It's worth noting that JetBrains has a long history of successfully competing against free IDEs, which were normally always more popular than IntelliJ. An alternative like Fleet is very interesting, but it's still too early to make a fair comparison (Also that Adobe-esque "toolbox" app isn't winning it any points) That's why I use Sublime Text, since it's the only (good) editor that's compatible with anything I need it to do. If I need to switch to editing Python, am I expected to open a second IDE? CLion supports plugins, but it doesn't seem like they offer a plugin that brings it on par with P圜harm (because if they did that, they couldn't sell you a second product)įor highly specialized development teams I guess it makes sense, but for me it'd just be a waste of money. I don't even know how that's supposed to work. It seems like Jetbrains does this so you're forced to buy multiple IDEs if you need support for a multiple languages. I was considering CLion, but decided against it because I frequently need to work with a bunch of different programming languages in a single project, not just C or C++, and not just the languages they happen to have an IDE for.

Right now Fleet is in the EAP, and there are no licensing checks at all, they are not yet implemented, and we are not yet done with the verification workflow design.

And we plan to support offline usage similar to how it’s done for IntelliJ IDEA-based IDEs now (offline license keys, floating license server.) If you have Fleet license (paid, for example) there are no criteria checks at all, just the license verification with your JetBrains Account. In this case, we will need a periodic connection to JetBrains servers to exchange information verifying that you can use Fleet for free, but in no way we would send any sensitive information, such as source code, file names, etc. your project is private but has less than 3 committers. your project is local (no Git or Git Remote).ģ. If you are using Fleet in a Free (hobby) mode, we are verifying that the project comply with one of three criteria:ġ. JetBrains employee here, and I can clarify the point about “Requires login and periodic connection to JetBrains servers to verify the project”. You can find this at the very bottom in the licensing and pricing section. Quite frankly this line is extremely alarming, are you saying that you're scanning my project to make sure it's not a "professional" project? I'm going to assume this line means that they are checking the IDE and not your source but I won't be using this product until I get an explanation for this. Looking through the landing page it looks like Plugins are in the works but until that is implemented, it's going to be hard adopting it.ĪLSO I just noticed this but can someone (ideally from JetBrains) explain what this line means: "Requires login and periodic connection to JetBrains servers to verify the project" (specifically the last 3 words of that sentence). Personally I work on React projects so my first thought was: "is there a Prettier plugin?". But by far the biggest moat that Jetbrains is going to have to cross to get into VSCode territory is the plugin ecosystem.
