holy shit! the thing I've been warning developers who promote and use this shitty tool has finally happened.

if you write fossy software, don't use products made by fossy enemies.
Maybe it's just me, but I never got that thing to work right anyway - with VSC. It keeps running amok and using up all the CPU time doing stuff it should not be doing, trying to analyze every single file in my VM every single time it is started.
So... good riddance.
I think they did a good job of writing a neutral comparison. Based on what it said, I think there's no reason for me to stop using VS Code right now, but I'll keep an eye on Theia and reconsider it my needs change.

Maybe not as feature complete but should be a good alternative
I started using Lapce. That or Zed just I installed Lapce first. I still use VS Code at work but personal machines I've moved on
i'm using zed currently but waiting on the enshittification. i just expect most projects to head that direction these days.
between lapse and zed I also decided on Lapse because it feels much more community-oriented than Zed; maybe you should look into that
More and more engineers wok with cursor.
Does Theia have C/C++ extensions?
