Fleet is not open source, offers little over VS Code and is not as fully featured as the full JetBrains IDE's. Who are intended to use this?

  The program isn't even publicly available yet. How can you conclude that it provides little over VS Code? And why does it matter that it's not open source?

    > And why does it matter that it's not open source? I honestly find this question really weird. Do we really have to explain such basic things nowadays? It may not be important to you, it is extremely important to me, and (apparently) xyproto.

      And that's why you're not using Windows, Mac, Android, or iOS, but only Linux, correct? Mostly people want open source but they'll happily abandon it for convenience. That's how Gmail won over Dovecot.

        That's exactly why, free/open source enthusiasts are just the minority type to prefer freedom or privacy over convenience.

  People like me who like all the other JetBrains IDEs and have a toolbox subscription anyway.

  The non open source part is a bummer but its not Electron based. So its gotta be faster than VSCode.

  As long as it isn't Electron-based, I don't care.

  Don't worry. It will very likely be open sourced. They'll open source it for the same reason they open sourced intellij.
