Google is Too Smart for Its Own Good

This is an unusual situation - a company that is too smart!

You may simply respond by saying I am stupid to be talking about this - any smart person would leave it alone. No one wants to be insulted,  and I am insulting a lot of people.

One exception however, would probably be Google.. It is so far ahead of everyone else, it cannot imagine a dummy like me - would have anything useful to say.

So I will just open my mouth and say it - Google should have its own IDE. One that would use its technologies, and integrate nicely with its Cloud. It could then tell everyone "This is the way to do it!"

I am trying to learn Angular, and am using IDEs from two companies - Microsoft and JetBrains. They are both interpreting Google's technology in their own way. Both companies are more than willing to take your hand, and show you the way. Two different ways, however.

Let me state the problem another way - Google assumes its users are as smart as it is, When this is far from the case. It has to take the world, the way it is (very imperfect) and proceed from there.

Its Philosophical position, however, is Idealism - Ideals are real, and everything depends on them. All anyone has to do is provide the Ideal solution for any problem. This approach has been proven defective so many times, it's embarrassing to see anyone still using it.
