Currently, VS Code is the primary method of connection to each Codespace, and we do not support other editors officially.

If you’re looking to connect via SSH with your desktop IDE, we do have a workaround here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/blob/main... -- and I use this regularly for Jupyter Notebooks. :)

This (quick to provision vms of any size you want with your code base etc) for jupyter sounds like a colab and mode killer...the way both of those make it hard to actually check in code leads to a ton of copy and paste code etc. You all should really advertise this capability.

So if I want to use IntelliJ or RubyMine, is there a workaround?

Yeah, go work somewhere else :))))) /s

Jetbrains recently added remote capabilities to IntelliJ, I'm hoping it's going to be usable with codespaces soon.
