Perhaps, but in this case, the same wheel (a C++ IDE) has been reinvented four times by the same company, whereas the competition (Visual Studio, Xcode) have existed for two decades or more. In this case, choice leads to fragmentation, to lack of focus, to poorer quality, and a focus on 'let's rewrite it again'.

Rider includes parts of ReSharper. The preview is not for a new product. It's a preview of a new version of CLion, their existing C++ IDE. They are unifying their two separate C++ engines, focusing on one code base.
