    Eclipse Theia vs Cursor Comments
    gresch
    Negative
    0

    Eclipse Theia is not an alternative to Cursor as the latter is an "AI"/ML coding support offering, not just an IDE in a webview. One could tweak Theia (and also Che) perhaps to use AI coding assistants that come as VSC extensions, but that's something completely different.
