Same shelf
The rest of editors and ides, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- JetBrains' distributed editor, using the IntelliJ engine but separating the interface from where the code is processed.
- An agent inside the editor that builds, questions and tests, sold on producing code that is ready rather than illustrative.
- JetBrains' Java and Kotlin IDE. Its static analysis and refactoring engine set the standard the rest of the field measures against.
- ByteDance's cloud IDE with a built-in assistant, supporting a wide language range.
- A Vim fork with an embedded Lua runtime and a language server protocol client, which made the modern plugin ecosystem possible.
- An online IDE covering seventy languages, useful when the environment matters less than running the snippet.
- A fast native editor, still commercial, whose speed and multiple cursors set expectations everything since has had to meet.
- The editor that took the market. Free, extensible, and now shipping agent workflows in the box.
