Yes Roslyn is first party and it naturally does load, and it's very memory-intensive. You can see it happening without any extensions installed.

Frontend is in Java (and Kotlin), indeed, as it's a part of the IntelliJ platform. However, the backend that actually provides IDE features for C# is written in .NET. The backend is actually the same ReSharper logic that runs in Visual Studio but in headless mode.

It's not built from scratch. It makes full use of the existing ReSharper code base.

This is not a plugin but a standalone product. Essentially this is standalone IntelliJ shell that communicates with a ReSharper process.

You're not.

If you look at the underlying markup, you can see that the web site was designed to be responsive. The sad part however is that it's going to take a bit more time for mobile resolutions to be supported properly.

Yes, our free products (IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm Community Editions, dotPeek) are not affected by these changes. They'll be available as before.

JetBrains rep here.

"Phoning home" is actually not new. We've introduced JetBrains Account as a way of authorizing a product instance (as an alternative to license keys) for a couple of years now.

Current student licenses work exactly the same way, as well as a part of classroom and OS licenses AFAIK. A lot of current personal and some commercial licenses are managed through a JetBrains Account as well.

With the new scheme, JetBrains Account will simply gain more usage than now, hard-coded license keys will eventually go away, but a license server option for environments that have restricted Internet connection will be provided the same as it is now.

Now, there might be certain additional steps we might need to take to ensure license delivery in certain scenarios but we'll be handling this as we receive specific problem reports.

This is the licensing model that's used now, not the new one introduced in November.

Probably by virtue of total karma lost by JetBrains reps here.

That's a great comment, thank you. Let me check how all the prices relate once again and come back to you.

We're not changing anything in this regard: if it works now, it will work the same way with new subscription licenses.

If you encounter a case when a setup like this doesn't work, please contact JetBrains and we'll look into resolving the problem.

Yes, nothing changes in this respect: you can run multiple instances of Visual Studio with ReSharper on the same machine.

Co-using IJ and ReSharper should be fine as well, as long as it's you and only you using them.
