Eclipse Theia is a framework for constructing IDEs and different growth instruments; the Eclipse Theia IDE is a cloud and desktop IDE constructed on the Theia framework. Theia IDE truly makes use of the Monaco editor part, and offers language help by way of Visible Studio Code’s LSP (Language Server Protocol) and DAP (Debug Adapter Protocol). Additional, it could actually host VS Code extensions (it has 83 extensions built-in, though most are very primary) and offers terminal entry. About half-a-dozen different merchandise have been constructed from the Theia framework. Theia IDE is neither smaller nor sooner than VS Code, and has quite a few points.
Theia IDE viewing and operating Quicksort.cpp. Though I used to be capable of set up the C++ extensions, I wasn’t capable of set up the extensions that enable Python initiatives to run from the IDE.

Lite XL is pitched as a “light-weight, easy, quick, feature-filled, and very extensible textual content editor written in C, and Lua, tailored from lite.” It helps a LSP plug-in for language help, and a terminal plug-in. (I used to be capable of set up the terminal plug-in, however not get it to run on my M1 MacBook Professional.) Varied different widespread enhancing options are additionally applied as plug-ins. Lite XL is a couple of tenth of the scale of Visible Studio Code. It installs on macOS utilizing MacPorts. It’s also supposed to put in utilizing builds on its releases web page, however that model wouldn’t begin on my M1 MacBook Professional.
Lite XL displaying and enhancing a Python program I wrote with assist from generative AI utilizing VS Code and Tabnine. Notice that there isn’t any terminal (I couldn’t get it put in), no pop-ups (ditto), and no run command (ditto). Lite XL is usable as an editor even with out plug-ins.

Cursor, a fork of Visible Studio Code, is constructed to make you “terribly productive,” and claims to be “the easiest way to code with AI.” Cursor has a number of code completion and chat fashions of its personal built-in, and also can use Claude Opus and the premium fashions GPT-4, GPT-4o, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. In the middle of this evaluation, extra fashions have been launched, corresponding to o1-mini. Precisely what fashions you may name, how typically, and at what precedence, rely in your Cursor and GitHub Copilot subscription plans and what API keys you provide. Cursor’s personal code completion does greater than GitHub Copilot. It may possibly edit the code round your cursor and take away textual content, not simply insert textual content at your cursor place. Cursor is about the identical measurement as VS Code.
