if you write fossy software, don't use products made by fossy enemies.
I think they did a good job of writing a neutral comparison. Based on what it said, I think there's no reason for me to stop using VS Code right now, but I'll keep an eye on Theia and reconsider it my needs change.
An AI company not respecting copyright and licensing? I'm shocked.
I started using Lapce. That or Zed just I installed Lapce first. I still use VS Code at work but personal machines I've moved on
i'm using zed currently but waiting on the enshittification. i just expect most projects to head that direction these days.
between lapse and zed I also decided on Lapse because it feels much more community-oriented than Zed; maybe you should look into that
I hope people switch to Lapce and it gets great extension support. First I tried it after years of vs code, it opens so fast. It's like back in the day of sublime text, notepad++/notepadqq. I haven't tried to see how ridiculously large of a log file I can open in it yet

Maybe not as feature complete but should be a good alternative
More and more engineers wok with cursor.
Does Theia have C/C++ extensions?
