Have you ever done embedded development?
Usually you get shipped a more or less broken piece of IDE, which is the only supported way (meaning the only way you are allowed to use) to develop for the embedded hardware.
I think most people are missing who this is for and what problem it is trying to solve.

- constantcrying 2y agoAs I wrote in my post, if you are working in embedded you will get an IDE from the chip manufacturer, which is the only real way to develop software for that chip. Generally those IDEs are not particularly good, as they are some hacked together toolkits based on some more or less flexible existing IDE. What Theia wants to accomplish is allowing chip manufacturers to build an IDE based on a flexible platform, with good extension support. More or less Theia isn't for you and it doesn't really try to compete with VSCode.
