Jetbrains have released their all new code editor Fleet into public release today. This is obviously aimed at competing with the juggernaut Visual Studio Code… the question is, how well does it does? Fleet transforms from a fast (aka… fleet) text editor to a full blown IDE with the click of a button.

So another IDE not as good as it's competition, that will bloat and become a paid product after public preview.
Yeah umh no Jet Brains.
It's not as lightweight as they say tbh
Vim/Neovim Gang🙌
This just more proprietary trash so it very much isn't a VS code killer. You want a VS code killer, do a video on Lapce
The licensing, closed source nature, telemetry, and connections required will never make it viable outside of corps
It's Not Free.. So It will not….
Real men use ed on the command line for EVERYTHING. 😉
"(free version) Requires login and periodic connection to JetBrains servers to verify the project."
Burn it. Bury it. Throw it into the sea.
This vscode "killer" will not work without internet connection. I'm not even interested in trying. I don't need prima donna editor which can decide that it will not work on my project.
Has anyone tried this on Windows 11 and wsl?
rip fleet… how can you compete with free & open source product that have humongous community?
I wouldn't say this is a "Visual Studio Code Killer" or even a "competitor". This is something else that targets a completely different audience.
Mostly corporations wanting "more cloud" and a "one click environment" where they can just push the software and not have to spend the time setting it up.
The fact that it's closed source AND functionally limited compared to a paid version, means it was never made with an intent to improve or better anything.
It was just JetBrains looking at the popularity of Visual Studio Code and going "Oh man I bet we could make some fat stacks of money off of that 🤤".
For me this did not work it kept brining up conecting to Intellij and never did anything. I hope it gets fixed fast (windows)
Ok long Story short its VS Code with abit less features i rly cant see why someone would need it 🤷♂
Is it good for big projects like UE4(mb some rider functionality)?
I am sorry but it is not a VSC killer. I tried on go, rust and not cover my expectation and without valuable c++ support.. hmm.. Mot a killer. I still prefer CLion and GoLand
It's quite impressive how they miss so much of what makes VSCode so useful for me.
I kinda forgot, watching this, why I was excited for this editor.
Well, Code wins with a single feature: foss version 🙂
I tried on Windows 10, it is too slow and takes lot of RAM😞
It’s great that’s all I can say
I'm still happy with my old friend SublimeText. I didn't switch to VSCode, which takes so many ideas from Sublime, because the variius configurations file are messier compared to Sublime Text.
But hey, you do you I do me 😉
I doubt it will be a VS Code killer due to the pricing model. The fact that you have to pay for some stuff, that is.
Hell no It's not, it costs money. Fucking jetbrains
A clever move by JetBrains: they have stated:Free to use during public preview. I imagine they want to attract as many people as possible before switching to be paid service. By then some users will get addicted to it features and be more inclined to switch from their other free tools.
Nvim is much better and faster 😉
Can something really be called "light" or "lite" if it requires the JVM to run?
At least it's not Yet Another Electron App™
Just tried it (wasn't part of the beta-testing).
Opened a Go app I've been working on. It identifies it as Go in Settings, but states that all imports and "string", "bool" etc. etc. are all undefined entities. So already at the very begining of testing it it fails. … wonder if they will remove the Toolbox thingy – annoying to have a tool to install an application that then lingers on in the toolbar afterwards and not telling where Fleet is installed.
Wow. It works!
I'm impressed!
Well, IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate has already killed Visual Studio Code 🤣
I tried jet brains products a few times, but they can’t come close to what vscode gives for free
Jet Brains products are way chunky! It distracts from the core process which is writing working programs.
I know Jet Brains typically make IDE that's different from text editors as VS code but again, VS code just does the task whereas Jet Brain forces you to learn and employ unnecessary stuff.
In almost, every programming tasks, core task is to write useful code that solves a program, I really don't know any Software Engineer who spend majority of time thinking and trying to solve a problem on paper and on meeting (mostly applicable for big companies) than staring at a screen and write code aimlessly.
If Jet Brain really wants to compete with VS code then they should come-up with something that's fast and way minimal than VS code with high functionalities than's actually used by almost 90% programmers
to be brutally honest, people will probably not even pirate it
not a visual studio code killer, you need to buy that PHPStorm????
Fleet is what I wish the VSCode's Editor was, but isn't all the stuff that VSCode does have. So far, the impression isn't very good
I lost you when you keep repeating: it has github support out of the box.
I mean come on cuh, its git support not github support.
