Good, I tried Fleet but it was like VSCode without the extensions (as in a community, they had support for plugins or whatever but the support wasn't there) and I don't like VSCode even with extensions. It was the worst of all worlds.

Let the people that want to build an IDE from the ground up have their fun over in VSCode land, please just focus on a powerful IDE that works out of the box.

PS: Agentic development is fine to pursue but so far things like Claude Code run laps around everything JetBrains has tried. Add "mount points" for agentic flows but please just focus on making a powerful IDE. Agentic development was unable to lure me away from JetBrains, double down on that, not trying to be Cursor.

Too bad everyone wants a different one of these.
