Detailed Comparison
Cloud9 provides a development environment in the cloud. Cloud9 enables developers to get started with coding immediately with pre-setup environments called workspaces, collaborate with their peers with collaborative coding features, and build web apps with features like live preview and browser compatibility testing. It supports more than 40 languages, with class A support for PHP, Ruby, Python, JavaScript/Node.js, and Go. | Theia provides the end-user with a full-fledged multi-language IDE (not just a smart editor) and supports equally the paradigm of Cloud IDE and Desktop IDE. |
Real-time collaboration and chat;Connect via SSH and FTP;Code Completion (suggestions);Highlighting and syntax hints;Goto File- fast file access;Adaptive Themes- chnage themes and skin;Code Folding- folding arrows allow you to collapse code;Multiple cursors- add a cursor to the rows above and below the current line;Focus- Every part of the Cloud9 UI can be collapsed or hidden entirely, so you get the maximum space to focus on your code. And for the truly exceptional among us, there’s zen mode, where the editor floats above the IDE to fill 100% of the browser.;Drag & Drop- The project tree scrolls, highlights and expands folders automatically for the most natural drag n drop experience.;Command-Line- command-line is your shortcut to a ton of useful features, like "mkdir", "npm", "git" and "zen";Git and Mercurial support;Seamless Node.js Integration | Cloud and desktop; Vendor neutral; Extensible; Integrated Terminal; Flexible Layout |
