> Following DeepSeek's disruption of the LLM landscape, the Eclipse Foundation bets that collaborative, open source AI tooling can outmaneuver billion-dollar proprietary competitors.
Maybe! Eclipse Theia was a pretty great web capable editor when I gave it a spin in ~2018.
The main thing I've wanted has been collaboration. Looks like there's been some real progress on that front, as of this past fall. Definitely like the idea of multiparty IDEs, and if AI can come play in that mix that will would be interesting! Feels like AI has been a pretty solo you & the machine experience.
I am 1,000% percent for the open source but, empirically, Eclipse couldn't keep up with the JetBrains before and now with Cursor/Windsurf/...
Something at the Eclipse Foundation is not working. I don't know what it is. I hope they can fix it. In my opinion, open source tools andmodels are necessary for the Industry to thrive.
Not sure that maps to how a foundation works. The Eclipse IDE is something that's maintained and expanded on by the community, not the Foundation. I've heard a lot of folks are not interested in modernizing the Eclipse IDE, but just maintaining it.
