a fork developed by who? OP is literally Gitlab admitting they can't build a competitive web editor.

  And ? Should every company yak-shave to satisfy FOSS zealots ? Where does it stop ? Is running Gitlab on Windows a problem ? Let Gitlab focus on git repositories, project management and devops. Everything else is just a pure waste of time.

  A fork by more people than just gitlab is going to be easier than a reimplementation created only by gitlab. 1) It is a product that exists, maintenance is easier than building from scratch in this case. 2) a consolidated effort by many people in maintaining a fork will allow much more effort than gitlab alone can spend. 3) mindshare on how vscode works already exists externally, a new webIDE doesn't have the same level of developer mindshare anyway. As a paying gitlab customer I'd rather their money be spent on things that actually matter; reimplementing open source tools does not matter.

  >OP is literally Gitlab admitting they can't build a competitive web editor. Or they've just decided it's not a good use of their finite resources?
