My mistake on the wording, I should have said "mediocre", perhaps. I can't edit the comment now, oops sorry.
I am referring to lack of an installer, and also the default shortcuts which clash with the distro, and in general I've seen features come to Linux a lot later. So a better way to put it is that Linux feels like an afterthought to Jetbrains. I do follow and also raise issues you on YouTrack but find they often languish.
Their IDEs are still overall pretty good, but I gravitate towards VS Code now.
- ta988 5y agoThe installer is called jetbrains Toolbox. Never had any issues on systems with i3, gnome, sway...
- cluoma 5y agoInstalling single IDEs is clunky. Basically it's up to you to put it where you want and then create any shortcuts you may need. Flatpaks make this easier but I would rather not use them. Besides this, I never really felt that Linux was an afterthought though. At least from my experience using CLion.
- ta988 5y agoNo Jetbrains toolbox handles all of that for you by default. And let you override defaults if needed.
