Codenvy vs Visual Studio Code: What are the differences?

  1. Hosting Platform: Codenvy is a cloud-based IDE that allows for collaborative development and easy access to projects from anywhere, while Visual Studio Code is a desktop-based IDE that provides a more personalized experience but limits collaboration options.
  2. Integrated tools: Visual Studio Code offers a wide range of extensions and customizable features to enhance the development experience, whereas Codenvy comes with pre-installed plugins and tools tailored for various programming languages and frameworks.
  3. Scalability: Codenvy is designed for large-scale development projects and teams, offering scalable infrastructure and resources, while Visual Studio Code is more suitable for individual or smaller team projects due to its desktop-based limitations.
  4. Deployment options: Codenvy provides seamless deployment of projects to various platforms and containers, whereas Visual Studio Code requires additional configuration and tools for deployment to different environments.
  5. Workflow Automation: Codenvy offers built-in automation tools for continuous integration and deployment processes, streamlining the development workflow, which is not as easily achievable in Visual Studio Code without external plugins and setup.
  6. Cost Structure: Codenvy is a subscription-based platform that may require payment for certain features and services, while Visual Studio Code is free to use with optional paid extensions for advanced features.

In Summary, Codenvy is a cloud-based IDE with collaborative features, tailored tools, scalability, deployment options, automated workflows, and a subscription-based cost structure, contrasting Visual Studio Code's personalized desktop experience, extensive extensions, limited scalability, deployment configurations, manual workflow automation, and free base version with paid extensions.

Decisions about Red Hat Codeready Workspaces and Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code became famous over the past 3+ years I believe. The clean UI, easy to use UX and the plethora of integrations made it a very easy decision for us. Our gripe with Sublime was probably only the UX side. VSCode has not failed us till now, and still is able to support our development env without any significant effort.

Goland being paid, as well as built only for Go seemed like a significant limitation to not consider it.

I decided to choose VSCode over Sublime text for my Systems Programming class in C. What I love about VSCode is its awesome ability to add extensions. Intellisense is a beautiful debugger, and Remote SSH allows me to login and make real-time changes in VSCode to files on my university server. This is an awesome alternative to going back and forth on pushing/pulling code and logging into servers in the terminal. Great choice for anyone interested in C programming!
