I cannot imagine programming without an LSP. For simple things like editing config files or yaml, sure, but anything more complex and the LSP is an essential tool. Syntax highlighting similar.

That said, I don’t think AI companions are advanced enough to be on the same level of utility. Maybe some day, but not soon.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like this supports remote development (at least from what I can tell poking around their site).

Until Gateway is performant & stable enough to use, I’m sticking with VSCode. It’s a shame because I prefer IntelliJ for Java development, but lacking remote development stability is a deal breaker.

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/fleet/install-on-a-remote-mac... - It seems it does support remote dev. Just played with it on my laptop and a Linux VPS I toss things onto from time to time, it worked alright. Haven't tried anything serious with it yet. When Fleet launched I had the option of connecting via SSH, specified the IP and port, and was able to connect. It uploaded some programs which run on the remote host to support the work. I was able to edit a program and then run it. There was also a terminal available on the remote host from inside Fleet.

It's extremely far from IJ in terms of functionality, at the moment. I don't think Jetbrains will avoid the need of making Gateway stable too.

I think a lot of the discourse around this (and similar topics) summarized with the following advice: find out what works for you, do that.

Both steps are hard, and I would argue the "you" can expand to include your family/close circle of friends/community as well.

I would agree that in some areas, Reddit is toxic and hateful, but I think pretty much every other major social media platform suffers from this as well, and most suffer worse than Reddit. There will always be a corner of hatred.
