The debugger looks neat. Would be nice to have the same micro-IDE for Go, Rust, Ruby, etc. Something like the Jetbrains tools, but open source.

  Fun fact: the core of Jetbrains IntelliJ is a very capable real, extensible open source IDE that they've released themselves. I suspect (but I'm not sure) that the rest of their desktop products are built on top of that.

    Sounds a lot like eclipse of yore...

      Also true.

    This seems pretty true, basically each IDE seems to be the same core with different plugins enabled. At one point you could turn IntelliJ into basically PyCharm with a few plugins supplied by jetbrains themselves.

    Yes, the community edition set of editors are the only ones I use. But there are no open source plugins for Go or Rust in top of intellij. So for all intents and purposes the editor is not open source for those languages. As far as I know no one in the community has tried implementing an open source plugin to compete with the proprietary ones.

      They also have generous early access programs. (And for anyone who wonders, no, I'm not paid and I don't use it - because of ergonomics - for me it is almost as painful to use as Macs are for me. I see inconsistencies and weird defaults everywhere since I'm a NetBeans / VSCode / Sublime Text kind of person. I just love Jetbrains business model.)
