This is a pretty amazing Ide. I see it is part of eclipse che now, is that correct?

  As far as I know the Eclipse Che GWT client is replaced by Eclipe Theia in the upcoming version 7 which is currently in beta. But I think both will still be independent projects.

    Yes, it is an independent project used by different products like Gitpod (www.gitpod.io), Google Cloud Shell, ARM Mbed Studio (https://os.mbed.com/studio/ https://os.mbed.com/studio/) and so on. Eclipse Che is going to replace own GWT based IDE with Theia in version 7 as you mentioned.

I've been using code-server[1] for a month now. These are early days for both projects. Can somebody comment on their Theia v/s Code-Server story? [1] https://github.com/codercom/code-server https://github.com/codercom/code-server

  Was going to say similar, haven't really been using Code server much yet, but was planning on spinning up an instance this weekend. At first glance they do look similar.

  Theia is an IDE framework implemented with cloud first mindset, not a code patch to make VS Code to run in cloud. It does reuse important VS Code components, like Monaco editor, language-server and debug adapter protocols, and VS Code extensions, but relies only on stable and documented APIs for it. Also: - In addition to support of VS Code extensions, it has more flexible extension model to allow building white-labeled products like Gitpod (www.gitpod.io) or ARM Mbed Studio (https://os.mbed.com/studio/ https://os.mbed.com/studio/) - It's open-source governed (Eclipse Foundation), i.e. no dependencies to Microsoft, all contributions are verified on license compatibility with Apache 2.0 and so on.

electron? no thanks
- jankeromnes 8y ago
  Electron is just one way to package it. https://gitpod.io https://gitpod.io has nothing to do with electron for example.

I do not believe that these projects are of the kind that can be used continuously. Yeah, it looks pretty good, but that's what I think.
