Eclipse Che vs Rails Spring: 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, Rails Spring is detailed as "Rails application preloader". Spring is a Rails application preloader. It speeds up development by keeping your application running in the background so you don't need to boot it every time you run a test, rake task or migration.

Eclipse Che belongs to "Cloud IDE" category of the tech stack, while Rails Spring can be primarily classified under "Rails Testing".

Some of the features offered by Eclipse Che are:

Universal Workspace
Docker Machines
Workspace Agents

On the other hand, Rails Spring provides the following key features:

Totally automatic
no need to explicitly start and stop the background process
Reloads your application code on each run

Eclipse Che and Rails Spring are both open source tools. It seems that Eclipse Che with 5.59K GitHub stars and 1.04K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Rails Spring with 2.51K GitHub stars and 275 GitHub forks.

Visual Studio Code

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.
