What are your thoughts on editor preferences for developers? If a company wanted to adopt Sourcegraph wouldn't they need to force all their devs to use the Sourcegraph editor? What if half of the team used Jetbrains and the other half VS Code?



We were worried about this initially, too. It turns out that the features are valuable enough that developers are willing to use Sourcegraph as a separate search and review tool even if they don't use it as their main editor. So you can use IntelliJ for day-to-day editing and Sourcegraph for code review and search.

Perhaps we should make that explicit: "Whether you use it as your primary editor or just for searching and reviewing code, ..."


Thanks for the reply. The form factor for code-review and commenting were standout features for me and i'll definitely check out the process.


Also, you can set up Sourcegraph Server (https://about.sourcegraph.com/products/server) and then everyone gets the core features on all your company's code in their web browser.
