Posting Etiquette

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/

Looks just like VS Code and I think it's still built on electron so take that as you will.

The article says this is being positioned as a competitor to VS Code, so at least based on that I'm assuming this is editor vs. editor not editor vs. IDE. So the question remains, why would someone choose Theia as their text editor instead of VS Code? If this is instead being positioned as an IDE then the question becomes why would someone use Theia over something like IntelliJ, PyCharm, or Android Studio.
