Jetbrains is pretty much the opposite of a unicorn.  It&#x27;s small and probably won&#x27;t grow much more (even if they get 100% of the dev tools market, the market is not that big), self-funded, and profitable.  Intellij is a quality code editor, and surely better than Eclipse, but the next Google, this ain&#x27;t.<p>There are a lot of small businesses selling software.  For example, FogBugz, Coverity, Synplify, etc. etc.  You don&#x27;t hear a lot about them because... honestly they&#x27;re not that interesting compared to companies that are trying to take over the world or go out in a flaming wreck.  Would you rather read about some middle class dude carefully building his small business, or about the offensive comments an Uber exec made during a drunken stupor in SF?
