Eclipse Theia Reviews and Details

Is Eclipse Theia good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Cursor 3

  And Eclipse Foundation maintains VSCode-compatible editor designed to be a framework for other IDEs: https://theia-ide.org/ IMO sounds like natural foundation for Cursor. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Disabling telemetry in ByteDance's VSCode fork increases data sent to its server

  There's also the Eclipse VScode-look-alike-reimplementation called TheiaIDE https://theia-ide.org/ It was rough a few years ago, but nowadays it's pretty nice. TI rebuilt their Code Composer Studio using Theia so it does have some larger users. It's VSCode-with-an-Eclipse-feel to it - which might or might not be your cup of tea, but it's an alternative. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• OpenVSX, which VSCode forks rely on for extensions, down for 24 hours

  100% this. It would be one thing if the only LSPs you could build came from Microsoft, but that’s just not true. It’s just that developing LSPs isn’t free. Cursor, Windsurf, etc. Are building multi-billion dollar businesses off the backs of the work that the VS Code team has done. And that’s totally fine! What’s not fine, is trying to have access to the whole ecosystem of first party extensions that aren’t MIT... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Devs sound alarm after Microsoft subtracts C/C++ extension from VS Code forks

  Even better: Theia. It supports most vscode extensions right out of the box. https://theia-ide.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Important open source projects should not use GitHub (2020)

  Big corporations are not monoliths, despite them having an overall singular personality. I believe that vscode was a sincere attempt, at least in the beginning. While based on electron which was originally developed for Atom, vscode was always much more performant than atom. But when it did gain a lot of developer attention, MS's true nature took hold and gradually converted it into the walled garden we see today.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Visual Studio Code is designed to fracture

  MS is a bit weird. After realizing that most competent developers had left the MS ecosystem, they went for a Zeitenwende. But they did only for 90%. I wonder to what extent this halfheartedness should be ascribed to the MS org chart or to reasoning like "we should prevent a competent competitor to run away with our tools". In the mean time, there is a capable replacement named Theia [0] with none of the... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Show HN: Void, an open-source Cursor/GitHub Copilot alternative

  As someone who has recently tried to refactor our app atop of VSCode (treating it like a platform), we got burned by the UI design decisions that are not straightforward to overcome, let alone maintain. The closed-source MS marketplace did not help either towards our OSS goals. However, I found Theia (https://theia-ide.org) on HN (like a bunch of other cool things; this is one way I justify the time I spend/sink... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Zed on Linux Is Here

  You should give Theia Ide [1] a try. It's plugin-compatible with VSCode, same user experience. It's slower to start and takes more memory but on my 3 y.o. Intel Mac it is definitely snappier than VScode. [1] https://theia-ide.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Eclipse Theia IDE

  No, it's not a fork. Theia reuses some components (like the Monaco code editor), but the reason it looks and feels a lot like VSCode is mostly that they decided to copy it. They explain the reasons for creating a VSCode clone here [1]. In short, VSCode is not really open source, and Theia wants the code to be both truly free and unencumbered by Microsoft's licensing and proprietary code, and also available to... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Open Source 'Eclipse Theia IDE' Exits Beta to Challenge Visual Studio Code

  On the Eclipse Theia IDE download page [0] it still says: >NOTE: The Eclipse Theia IDE is currently in beta. Does "exits beta" mean that it will at some point in the future exit the beta? I understood it to mean that it is out of beta today. [0]: https://theia-ide.org/#theiaidedownload. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• How Secure Cloud Development Replaces Virtual Desktop Infrastructures

  Running containers online has been one of the most exciting recent trends in virtualization aligned with DevOps practices where containers are critical to enable efficient testing and deployments. CDE are accessed online with an IDE via network connection (Microsoft Visual Studio Code has such a feature as explained here) or using a Cloud IDE (an IDE running in a web browser such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code,... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• I can't stand using VSCode so I wrote my own (it wasn't easy)

  As an alternative to VSCode, consider Theia[1]. Open-source, runs all the VSCode extensions, etc. [1] https://theia-ide.org. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Upvote this GitHub issue. VSCode Marketplace should be open source, or at least documented. That will only mean good things to us (developers).

  Eclipse theia is that alternative, almost same as vscode but even better (more extensible, portable, etc), and even the fsf regards the eclipse license as free software, and in any case, if you're not happy with the eclipse license you can have it under the GPL anyway, it's dual license https://theia-ide.org/.
