Looks just like VS Code and I think it’s still built on electron so take that as you will.
It seems to be built on the same components as VScode and VScodium. Honestly, I don’t see the point… yeah, sure, they want their editor to work on the web, but couldn’t they have don’t that with a GUI lib that compiles to WASM?
It feels like it’s only for open source purists aka a minority.

You have to follow the attribution and share-alike parts of the license. Otherwise you’ll have the same consequences as an AI company would scraping it (still zero).
I feel like browser support is such a niche. I don’t understand why many IDEs dedicate so many resources to make it work on the browser. There are already many options to code on the web if you need it.
It’s a lot easier to run web apps on the desktop than the opposite and there are a lot more people with experience developing with HTML/CSS/JS.
Chromebooks maybe?
I always figured the browser part mostly falls out of doing the Electron-for-cross-platform thing.
Pretty sure it’s to enable extensions written in JS. These apps build their success on a rich ecosystem of plugins. And, like it or not, JS plays a big part in that.
But the best (fastest) plugins aren’t written in js.
I don’t disagree, but that’s not what most people care about.
I know when I was reaserching this as an option for secure development there was a pretty much just this group and jupyter notebooks.
