The Unified IntelliJ Idea: More Free Features, Better Experience, Smoother Flow

In a side news, they announced the death of Fleet.

This is sad for me because I found it good enough to integrate it in my daily workflow.

I hope they at least consider to drop it on GitHub and allow people to give it a chance as community project.

As far as I can tell, this does not apply to PyCharm, GoLand, Rider, RubyMine, or many of their development tooling - only Intellij IDEA (the Java-specific tooling).

Otherwise I would fork the code and try my own hand at fixing some of the problems that have failed to gain attention from JetBrains for months and years on their issue tracker, despite a heavy appetite for the fixes from the user base.

The free Idea in December 2025: no JS code completion.
