Thank you for your hard work.
Why no plans to support non-mobile? I think it would help increase popularity to have a full solution.

We're a small team, so we have to start somewhere. Mobile is where there's a real lack of good solutions right now, so that's where we started. If we're successful and our team grows, or if we get contributions from the community, I could totally see us expanding into other areas. The engine itself is written to have an embedding API so if you're familiar with C++ you could totally start creating a non-mobile solution with Flutter today.

The screenshot looks like the IDE is Visual Studio Code, but I only see instructions for setup with IntelliJ and Android Studio (Is that Android Studio? I've never used that before)

Ah sorry, I meant the code sample under the “Modern, reactive framework” heading. Search for “class CounterState”.
As for editors, as you note, the instructions focus on IntelliJ/Android Studio, since that’s where the team has put most work, but there’s good support for VS Code (which I believe is what’s in the screenshot). For those who prefer something more minimal, you can find Dart support for vim and emacs too.
For something a bit beefier, we maintain a ‘gallery’ sample app that features a decent selection of widgets and a few demos: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/tree/master/examples/hell...
