The Choice of an IDE and Tool Platform: Eclipse Theia vs. Code OSS

Building custom tools and IDEs are strategic and long term investments. Choosing the right platform for building custom tools and IDEs is a critical decision for stakeholders.

To aid in this crucial selection, we recently gave a talk at EclipseCon 2023 about a comparison between Code OSS and Eclipse Theia as a platform. Our session offered an in-depth analysis tailored for decision-makers and developers contemplating which IDE platform to choose for their custom product offerings. We ventured beyond mere technical specifications, examining how each platform caters to the unique needs of custom IDE and tool development, considering aspects such as adaptability, flexibility, feature sets, governance, and their respective ecosystems.

Understanding the importance of this decision-making process, we are happy to share that the recording of our talk is now available for everyone who could not join us live (see below).

This discussion is crucial for anyone involved in the development or planning of custom tools and IDEs. We meticulously compared Eclipse Theia and Code OSS, providing insights that are essential for stakeholders looking to make informed decisions about their development platform choices.
