They are trying now to create an agent-first IDE. I think they are too big to move on this.

>Over time, we learned that having two general-purpose IDE families created confusion and diluted our focus.
And not the dozens of others you have? Do you not consider them also separate families?
Yeah, they completely didn’t see any of this coming.
All the other IDEs they have are variants of IDEA.
Fleet is a completely different codebase.
So they’re correct, there’s only two families of IDEs.
Isn't Fleet in preview 5 years later?

They just announced the end of their fleet editor
Yeah, and that they are pivoting it to an agent first editor.

So many salty fools who bought into “professional|enterprise grade ide” cool aid. Glad to see upstarts eating their lunch, they’ve been complacent for far too long.
