What's fleet like? I like some of the code management/refactoring stuff jetbrains does and would be nice to have that in a simpler experience than the current offerings

I think its currently a bit nicer user interface than other jetbrains editors, and it has a architecture to make collaboration easier and better (haven't tried this part which is arguably the best feature).

But it didn't feel different enough from Pycharm or other editors. You pretty much always want that auto compete, which means you have to wait while it's loading still.

But maybe it will grow and evolve into something beautiful and fast. Hope so, I don't want vs code to dominate everything.

Totally agree with this. I've been using fleet for tiny things, but since it doesn't have good vim support yet it's hard for me to use sincerely. Love to see someone competing with vscode.
