On colab you get free gpus.

#13That's interesting, but do the Google Colab Terms of Service allow this? The article goes into how, but not if you're allowed to. Until you're certain it is allowed, I would suggest not using it. You don't want to be locked out of your (at best) colab or (at worst) Google account because you wanted a fancy IDE.

Why would this one specific library be banned from colab?

repl.it has always been slow for me for anything beyond a single file with a handful of changes.

#20I'm curious. I know it's great for one-offs, but is anyone actually using VSCode as their main tool when so many native IDEs and text editors are available?
I would love to know what's your use case. Maybe I'm missing something big.
