Why is this necessary? I thought we've moved past language-specific IDEs.

Yea, I was thinking the same. I have the JetBrains toolbox, and already have these installed:

  • Rider
  • RubyMine
  • PyCharm
  • GoLand
  • CLion

I don't really get why they need to make 10 different IDEs for every language, instead of just consolidating everything into a single UI/IDE.

For pricing it doesn't make that much sense, anyone that wants more than 2 JetBrains products is better off buying the entire toolbox.

I'm still waiting for Cobolilissimo and Fortransformer...

You know that you can use IntelliJ Idea Ultimate to get all of these in one package?

All of the languages from their other IDEs are available as plugins: https://www.jetbrains.com/products/compare/?product=idea&product=idea-ce

Totally agree but weren't they working on an all-in-one IDE? I think it was Fleet

And there is already the Language Server Protocol, which basically everyone else uses.

The Jetbrains IDEs go further than many language servers do.
