That WOULD be great, IF they open sourced the server side. Otherwise, it's just one bad day away from some manager pulling the old switcheroo, and making the server a paid "pro" thing.

JetBrains IDEs are commercial, proprietary software. In my opinion well worth the price.

They won't open source it but I imagine they will allow you to run a version of it inside your corporate firewall, at a premium price, just like their 'Code With Me' server.

Or, more in vein of recent business trends, some company acquiring the technology, and THEN making it pay-to-play.
