Eclipse Che vs OpenStack: What are the differences?

Developers describe Eclipse Che as "Next-Generation Eclipse IDE. Eclipse Che is an open source developer workspace server and cloud IDE". Eclipse Che is the only open source cloud IDE with RESTful workspaces and Docker-based machines. It's as powerful as it sounds. On the other hand, OpenStack is detailed as "Open source software for building private and public clouds". OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed through a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface.

Eclipse Che and OpenStack are primarily classified as "Cloud IDE" and "Open Source Cloud" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Eclipse Che are:

  • Universal Workspace
  • Docker Machines
  • Workspace Agents

On the other hand, OpenStack provides the following key features:

  • Compute
  • Storage
  • Networking

"Cloud IDE" is the top reason why over 4 developers like Eclipse Che, while over 35 developers mention "Private cloud" as the leading cause for choosing OpenStack.

Eclipse Che is an open source tool with 5.56K GitHub stars and 1.03K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Eclipse Che's open source repository on GitHub.

The main contenders here are VS code and Eclipse, because Koding is meant to be used by large companies and by devs who know what they are doing. Both VS code and Eclipse have pros and cons, but for someone who wants to learn, VS Code is a much better choice as it has a very simple UI and plugins are easier to find and download.

Eclipse isn't meant for learning purposes and was designed with the intent to be used by professionals. Also it is an amazing IDE for java, but isn't so good in other languages, while VS code is much more efficient in a vast number of languages.

The only likely issue you might be facing with vs code is that, at times, it can be a resource hog, and in extreme cases it is possible to crash. But it is very rare and I recommend you have at least 8GB ram and at least a dual 1.6 GHz CPU.
