Fleet has been a multi-year effort, gotta applaud JetBrains for willingly take the bet and continuously investing in developing its products. It's way easier to rest on their laurels and only provide maintenance updates to IntelliJ.
- vbezhenar 3y agoI wish they provide only maintenance updates. I hate all their updates for I think 5 years or something like that. The only reason that I update is because I need new Java support. Their updates bring nothing but issues to me. This year I just migrated to vscode for everything but Java projects. Unfortunately vscode Java support is atrocious, so Idea is not replaceable at the moment.
- xctr94 3y agoI find myself agreeing with this sentiment lately, as a WebStorm user of many years. Little bugs and annoyances stay in the product, while every new feature has been unimportant for me — anecdotal, I know. I particularly disliked Fleet. It resembles VsCode in looks, and that’s a very bad thing for me. No sense of hierarchy, of what matters, of what tools I actually want to see and where they should be. But then I’d say the same for Apple and its software.
- stuaxo 3y agoI don't mind fleet, even though I don't get on with vscode.
- winrid 3y agoYeah, they keep breaking stuff and causing UI bugs. I know I can stay on an old version, but I don't want that either, because I do want things fixed eventually...
- misja111 3y agoAgreed. I'm using Idea for Scala development, but Scala support seems to get worse every year. The new features that each update brings I don't need, all that happens is that Idea gets more and more bloated.
- mi_lk 3y agoIf they rest vscode will take their lunch (if not already so to some extent). I applaud their Fleet effort but it’s definitely a reaction to vscode, rather than going the hard way willingly
