I have moved to VScode after being a paying Jetbrains customer for 6 years. The Jetbrains IDEs are clunky and slow, they also have plenty of bugs which remain open for years. They do offer some really powerful refactoring capabilities but I don’t miss them.

Most of my work is in Go, Rust and Typescript.

I was told by Jetbrains representatives that Fleet is now deprioritized internally, which is a pity.

I switch to Jetbrains from time to time because there are many impassable serious bugs in VSCode, on the other hand…

I could not be happier that they are deprioritizing fleet. I am not a fan of the VS code style editor and that’s all I saw fleet as.

My experience too, I found myself more and more annoyed because I'd run into something, find a years-old ticket that has never been addressed.

I really liked JetBrains tooling in the past, but that and then they also started hitting me with spammy advertising right after I paid for another year, and just couldn't stand it, refunded and cancelled.

Cannot comment on Typescript, but Go and Rust are miles better on Jetbrains IDE's. It is not even a competition - vscode is left in the dust.

Same for Python

Webstorm closer but overall a bit better than vscode. The latter benefits from typescript support, but the former has much nicer devx

This seems strange to me because honestly I find the Goland experience much better than Go in VSCode. But - clearly it works for you
