I think this might explain why they made Theia : https://dev.to/svenefftinge/theia-1-0-finally-a-good-browser...
If that's so, then they truly fumbled on execution. Open VSX requires GitHub OAuth for login.
it requires OAuth, not github's OAuth

So, avoid the non-existent fees of Microsoft and change them for the non-existent fees of Oracle and IBM. Sold! But seriously, the Eclipse Foundation would be a much trustworthier steward for a wide-used IDE than Microsoft. Unfortunately, Eclipse is in the same situation Firefox was against Chrome 5 years ago: it's slow compared to other Java IDEs like Jetbrain's.
I wouldn't trust Oracle. Is this going to be like VirtualBox which is "free" and "open source" except for the extension pack on the very same page that you can one click download? If anyone isn't aware, they track the IP address of that extension and if they can trace it back to your company they then come calling for money. It's basically a sort of litigation honey pot. Sure, it's all legal, but it's such a nasty da…
But just to be clear, Oracle does not control Eclipse IP.

#93VSCodium is already here https://vscodium.com/ So in future I need different VSCode variants running because one project decides to use Theia and the other one is okay with VSCode?! Really great for the users :( Seems Eclipse is doing what they are best at: Clutter things up. I don't see the big picture here.
Why would any project require a specific kind of editor?
Team standards, for example.

#94I mean, do they think we are idiots? Visual Studio Code is clearly open source with an MIT license.
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode
EDIT: OH WAIT - I see - they forked at least parts of Visual Studio Code and then open sourced it. In other words -- proving that Visual Studio Code is open source.

No comment on the authors other claims, but VSCode is not open source. "Code - OSS" is the open base upon which VSCode is built. VS Code's branding, telemetry and more are closed-source. See https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/60#issuecomment-1... for a full explanation.

Google and IBM are trying to derail Microsoft at the expense of developers.
Surprised there aren't ads in it to track us or Watson to do code suggestions (oh wait, that would mean bundling a consultant, nevermind).

If you've successfully logged in with non-Github OAuth, can you substantiate that with steps to reproduce? E.g,
1. Navigate to https://open-vsx.org/
2. [etc…]

That's a relief, the post above made it sound that way.

Haven't tried it myself but you can always go to the code and do it yourself :
I think the confusion here is that https://open-vsx.org/ requires github which is normal, they can require whatever they want you can even go in and add something else => https://github.com/eclipse/open-vsx.org
or roll your own : https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx

Remote dev extension is a huge advantage of VSCode and is not open sourced.
