I think it's a weeee bit early to start developing a "quantum workforce" beyond math and physics PHD programs!
Can't wait to see the Intelli-J plugin, though!

It's actually a reasonable way to play around with simulations of quantum algorithms, much nicer than multiplying huge matrices which is typically what you'd otherwise do when learning. But it is a little silly that we have a quantum IDE before a usable quantum computer has been built.
Also Microsoft will have some advandage. This is probably the main motivation here.
This of course does not guarantee that the interface of an actual QC would be anything like this.
Nonsense! With a quantum debugger, we'll finally be able to find out if Schrodinger's cat is alive or dead!
