Better support for other IDEs

[wdoker]

JB is not interested in supporting other IDEs, as does not have a direct income from Kotlin, only indirect benefits, including the sale of their own IDE.
Compiler core modules are undocumented, mostly tied to JVM, and too complicated overall for simple reuse in other IDE integrations.
Community alone (without any commercial support) cannot do high quality integration, IMO.

Visual Layout (Scene Builder)

I’ve discovered Kotlin in AndroidStudio 3 two weeks ago, and I like it (as I’m a lasy coder ) 2 Android apps for test purposes were very easily to programm and work fine. Now I have to take the decision wether I’ll stuck on Kotlin, or switch back to JavaFX 8 for my Win 10 programs. To stay on Kotlin I MUST have a visual tool (for design, XML and CSS …) like SceneBuilder I couldn’t find a tool like this for Kotlin, but unfortunatly I have to maintain several programs. Is there a (free)…

Any plan for Supporting Language Server Protocol?

The language server protocol (LSP) is a common protocol for a tool and a language smartness provider. It will be nice to have a Kotlin language server, since there are already some popular LSP clients available (VSCode, NeoVim) and some are in progress (emacs, sublime etc.).

Official support for Visual Studio Code

Whilst support for the language server protocol has been requested previously, would it be possible to reconsider official support for Visual Studio Code? VSCode has been ranked number 1 amongst the most popular IDEs on stackoverflow and could massively benefit Kotlin adoption. This would not only be beneficial to developers using this editor, but could drag a lot of developers to IDEA when seeking out for a full-blown IDE eventually.
