Anybody use JetBrains products (even the free versions)?

JetBrains makes many common IDEs, like PyCharm, IntelliJ, Android Studio (fork of IntelliJ by Google). They released the public beta of a new editor, Fleet, recently. So far, I've had good impressions on it, as it's so much lighter and more responsive than IntelliJ-based IDEs.

Discuss!

bad not open source and slower than vsc and worse intellisense

I saw a pretty negative video of fleet on youtube.

Be prepared for JetBrain's software to take a big HIT on your PC. It'll eat up your CPU and RAM even faster than Chrome does.

So does any big-name IDEs really. Every time I add something in VSCode there's a chance it will severely slow down or even freeze my potato-grade laptop, even for trivial things like adding a string… x_x

Thank god I use linux, it really seems Fleet it optimized for UNIX-like systems when compared to VS Code haha. Anyway I am a Jetbrains user myself, and I am yet to really try fleet as I am currently fixing some stuff on my PC before I want to do too much coding. I think however, Fleet is going to be great for existing JetBrains users, it will allow us to just use 1 IDE for all our code instead of having to split it up into many different ones. I hope they offer a Fleet community edition since that would be great for the Open Source community.

It seems that eventually it's going to be a paid product. So I don't really see the point in trying it now.

That could've be the reason why my copy of VSCode is so unstable.

unrelated?, but I like that JetBrains Mono font, really dig that aesthetic the font had

Everything freezes on my laptop, won't be a problem to me.

goodbye pycharm, you will be missed. hello fleet!

It looks pretty cool tho ngl
+ i have jetbrains student subscription so i think i might use this instead of idea

Personally, I have IntelliJ installed for making Minecraft mods, but I never use it, so…

That's because VSCode literally depends on Chromium. It's running VSCode on top of an entire browser.

And you wish someone would find a way for all the Electron and other stuff to be running on the same Chromium.

It more eats up my RAM. I don't even understand why I have a really fast CPU but not enough RAM for it to matter much
I found that Fleet actually performed way better than IntelliJ. Fleet is a new codebase, and rewrite=less code bloat. And also, Fleet only starts up the code processing engine which *really* eats my RAM up when you turn on “smart mode”.
