Most developers don't care they just want to get to job done. Many of them use IntelliJ, etc. which is not free software either.

Those who care about using fee software already know about these things, because they check before starting to use a new software.

They don’t brag about it as much as Microsoft do but IntelliJ Community Edition is free software.

All free software is open source, by definition.

There is a difference: intellij/Jetbrains don't claim to do OpenSource.

Microsoft markets them as OpenSource player and Viscose as OpenSource IDE and if you don't look at the license terms you miss the part.

Seems I can't edit the comment anymore. "Viscose" was supposed to be "Viscose". Thanks autocorrect :)

Uhhh...

I give up. The phone rules over me.

While IntelliJ is not completely open source, the community edition definitely is(not free in the gpl sense but OSS). But they are careful in marketing it that way.
