AFAIK jetbrains has an AI Assistant now, too. But I cannot say anything about how it works.
It's close to useless. I would know, I made the mistake of paying yearly.
I don't know why, but I somehow expected that...

#62As 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.

Is Theia related to Eclipse (the traditional Java IDE)? Or is the reference to "eclipse" just an unfortunate naming collision?

#63This investment by YC in both Void and Continue.dev perfectly exemplifies the VC spray-and-pray approach by backing two nearly identical open-source VSCode plugins for AI-assisted coding.
They're simply throwing money at similar projects in the same space, hoping one will stick, without any special insight or reason why one should be more successful over another.

I’m interested; are you suggested this is a bad thing, or just highlighting something of interest?

Oh there's a lot more than that.

#66I think more competition in the "AI Editor" space is good, but I have to ask – why not make it a VSCode extension? I feel it'd be much more accessible.
Are there limitations in the extension APIs that make it hard to implement?

Looks fantastic, will happily try this!

They created it, but the code base is unrelated.

Just the two that I have recently been checking out and, as many other commenters in this thread asked, what is the difference between the two? I guess investors know something we don't, or they are just throwing money at the wall...
