Some seven years in the making, the Eclipse Foundation's Theia IDE project is now generally available, emerging from beta to challenge Microsoft's similar Visual Studio Code editor, with which it shares much tech.
That’s good to hear. I haven’t touched Eclipse in maybe 15 years and back then it fueled me a burning hatred for IDEs. It felt like a huge confusing mess. But maybe it has become more streamlined lately.
Now I have grown out of my hatred and can’t imagine a day without (non Eclipse)IDEs.
It’s still a hot mess. Helped my wife set it up for developing a Java webapp with Tomcat and it’s such a mess to set up, compared to IntelliJ that I could just set up a Springboot easily.

I have used it about 3 years ago and it was still a confusing mess. I recommend sticking with IntelliJ for JVM development for now.
