We can only have so many IDEs.

If you want to make "user" apps (apps that average users, not computer nerds use), you have to go with Mac/Windows/iOS/Android/Web. None of them gives Linux a competitive advantage over other platforms.

Linux will never be mainstream[1]. It's an operating system for hackers by hackers. The sooner people accept that, the better.
