  …which is proprietary.

    As are all their products.

    And it will be freaking awesome, as are all their products.

      I mean, I mostly wanted to point that out because OP prefers FOSS, but I did think at least their IntelliJ Community Edition was open-source.
      But I just checked their website and it says “Free, built on open source”, arguably the worst option, although I guess, it’s what the MIT folks want.

      I just hate how people overwhelmingly recommend proprietary editors. It’s the one thing you’d think the FOSS community should be exceedingly good at.

        If you’re actually developing FOSS with it, you can use their products for free.

        JetBrains has a lot of good will in the community, and for good reason.

        Would it be nicer if their IDEs were FOSS? Probably. Would it hurt their profits? Most likely.

  Yeah, I mention that later in the comment. Of course, there’s the whole suite of Jetbrains editors.
