Makepad

GitPod

GitPod (based on theia) is a web IDE for repositories on GitHub.

CodeSandbox

CodeSandbox is a web IDE specifically for web application development.

StackBlitz

theia

  1. Syntax highlighting and checking works well.

  2. Debugging is not supported currently but under active development.

  3. best to mount a directory that has mode 777

  4. support installling VS Code extensions (*.vsix) by drag and drop. Installing from VS Code Marketplace is not supported at this time.

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v /workdir:/home/project:cached theiaide/theia-full

Codenvy / Eclipse Che

  1. very slow

  2. vi keybindings is stupid

  3. Scala support is not ready

Conclusion: basically unusable, not recommended

  1. Looks much better Codenvy/Eclipse Che.

  2. Python autocompletion works in the official online version. However, debugging is supported only for Python2 currently.
