Creator of the original <a href="https://github.com/coder/code-server" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/coder/code-server</a> and co-founder of <a href="https://coder.com" rel="nofollow">https://coder.com</a> here. Microsoft’s code-server uses their official extension marketplace, allowing LiveShare, Pylance, and other proprietary extensions in their browser VS Code experience. Their license prevents users from “hosting it as a service” meaning you can’t productize their code-server like you can ours.<p>We’re disappointed that Microsoft chose to release under the `code-server` command-line name. Our community has produced countless blog posts, videos, StackOverflow questions, etc. that will become difficult for our users to find. This naming decision suggests that Microsoft aims to replace our code-server instead of coexisting.<p>We will continue developing our code-server until Microsoft’s has parity. As for Coder, we’re focusing more on the platform side (<a href="https://github.com/coder/coder" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/coder/coder</a>) and less on making IDEs work remotely.
