I just downloaded the Fleet beta from the App toolbox. First impressions is that it is very clean.
This is essentially Vscode but with Jetbrains language and refactoring engine.
Quick thoughts:
- It needs a bit more autocomplete e.g automatically close tags for React components
- GUI run configuration - they have made it so it uses a JSON file like Vscode to configure, GUI is quicker and easier (can still click run on gutter for package.json scripts so not that bad)
- Sometimes you want to use Vscode to make some quick changes/play around instead of firing up an IDE. Fleet replaces that for me
- Part of me think that Jetbrains should have created paid extensions for Vscode much like Resharper for Visual Studio

IIRC, JetBrains considers LSP to be too limiting for refactoring and code-insight capabilities that they want to provide (I think they said that when there was discussion about language server for Kotlin). So it's possible that such extension wouldn't be on par with a "real" JetBrains IDE.

And better auto-complete for that. I tried to add my golang project, but had no clue what it wants from me for goExecPath or buildTargets. Why not show the help inside the editor? I had to google and look around (goExecPath is the actual link to the bin, not GOPATH or something) and buildTargets means files (main.go). The naming feels weird.
