- mike_hearn 2y agoJetBrains has outlasted most of the fully open source IDEs out there. Open source IDEs tend to suck and be abandoned after a while because there's no incentive to keep maintaining it, and it's expensive. See: NetBeans, Eclipse. AFAIK the only IDEs in wide use today are open-core, like JetBrains' IDEs.
