Speaking as a corporate programmer working from home indefinitely, I'd kill for IDEA Viewer. My laptop can't have code on it, so I'm forced to remote desktop to my workstation to use IntelliJ and CLion remotely, which is a middling experience at best. A light protocol for synchronizing the frontend with the IDE backend would be excellent. You can look at my profile and various papers we've published about why code on laptops is both hard technically and draw your own conclusions beyond that. As an aside, I also use IntelliJ on my own projects for Rust. The Rust LSP is getting there, but nothing beats IntelliJ Rust yet, and that's been my experience across the suite. JetBrains tackles the hardest 20% of the problems (like partial compilation and indexing) and executes extremely well.

Genuinely awful experience over the citrix thing and best possible connection situation. > As an aside, I also use IntelliJ on my own projects for Rust. The Rust LSP is getting there, but nothing beats IntelliJ Rust yet, Thanks for saying this. I'm trying to pivot to using rust for a greenfield project. Just gave up on the emacs rust set up as it was tremendously frustrating to use

  rust-analyzer works very well for me, definitely don't use RLS.

It has some semi-minor issues still (e.g. resizing panes, last I tried it, would only move a few pixels before losing the "drag"), and it's not as efficient as VSCode (which is a pretty high bar, to be fair), but there is a "Projector" for many of their IDEs: https://medium.com/swlh/how-to-run-android-studio-on-any-device-with-jetbrains-projector-3d9d23a8c179 https://medium.com/swlh/how-to-run-android-studio-on-any-dev... It's not quite good enough on my bandwidth to make me switch from VSCode for remote work, but it's pretty close. And the day it is, I will be thrilled to abandon VSCode's horrible Go plugins.

Wow. I'm amazed they haven't relaxed the no-code-on-laptops rule this year.
