The problem JetBrains is trying to address is that the array of tools “.leaves people switching tools and tabs, manually copying information, and generally losing time and creative flow” according to CEO Maxim Shafirov. Even the mighty Microsoft has not been able to own every segment of the software development lifecycle, though it keeps trying.Īccording to a post in Techcrunch, the ultimate goal for Space is to provide a unified company-wide platform expanded to a wider range of creative teams, including designers, marketers, sales, accounting, and more. CircleCI is a market leader in Continuous Integration. GitLab offers a powerful code host along with DevOps tools. JetBrains is well-entrenched as a provider of text editors or IDEs. Still, many other companies have significant market share in their niche. In software development, the most widely used tools today are VS Code (Microsoft), GitHub (Microsoft), Jira (Atlassian), and Slack (soon, Salesforce), as reported in the 2020 Stack Overflow survey. Google took a similar approach to the Google Suite. The Microsoft Office Suite (a collection of single-purpose tools) never evolved into a single integrated environment and went on to dominate the office space. It’s an ambitious project reminiscent of discontinued integrated environments that faded over time, such as Lotus Symphony – I know, I am dating myself – as single-purpose tools such as Word and Excel emerged as the preferred solution for knowledge workers. Last week JetBrains announced general availability of Space, an all-in-one solution that aims to replace an array of tools for the whole organization, from Slack to GitHub, Jira to CircleCI, and everything in between.
