Some seven years in the making, the Eclipse Foundation's Theia IDE project is now generally available, emerging from beta to challenge Microsoft's similar Visual Studio Code editor, with which it shares much tech.
It seems to be built on the same components as VScode and VScodium. Honestly, I don’t see the point… yeah, sure, they want their editor to work on the web, but couldn’t they have don’t that with a GUI lib that compiles to WASM?
It feels like it’s only for open source purists aka a minority.
I feel like browser support is such a niche. I don’t understand why many IDEs dedicate so many resources to make it work on the browser. There are already many options to code on the web if you need it.

I know when I was reaserching this as an option for secure development there was a pretty much just this group and jupyter notebooks.
