This seems to be a growing trend from a lot of big companies to get people into their ecosystem (I’m looking at you, Adobe). If you don’t use other JetBrains IDEs then there is no point in having a manager for all your JetBrains tools. If you want to download Fleet you need to first download their Toolbox App and download Fleet from there.

Okay, I had to mention this because I know it is a huge turn-off for a lot of people. These are not separated by the pros and cons but rather are my thoughts about different parts of the editor. Here I’ll be listing down a few of the important pointers that caught my eye while I was using Fleet. When working with your code, Fleet allows you to connect to a remote machine and use a Fleet instance already there. Fleet is also trying to go in that direction with its remote development features. In VSCode, remote development has also received a lot of support. Fleet can also transform into an IDE with the help of its “IntelliJ code-processing engine” and provide context-aware code completion, quick fixes, etc. According to its website, Fleet claims to be “a fast and lightweight text editor for when you need to quickly browse and edit your code” which seems to be the same user base VSCode is targeting. The popular VSCode text editor appears to have set off a new trend, which led to the development of this new IDE. So how does it fair against VSCode? In this article, I’ll walk you through my experience with using Fleet for the past few days, and a few things you should know if you’re interested in trying it out.

Since then there has been a lot of noise around Fleet within the developer community, and it also has been questioned about being the VSCode killer. JetBrains, the company behind well-known IDEs like IntelliJ Idea and WebStorm, recently declared that Fleet was now ready for public preview.
