This new IDE from Google is seriously revolutionary.

Project IDX is in a completely different league from competitors like VS Code or Cursor or whatever.

It is a modern IDE in the cloud — packed with AI features.

I was not surprised to see this sort of thing coming from Google — with their deep-seated hatred for local desktop apps.

Loading your projects from GitHub and then install dependencies instantly without any local downloading.

It’s a serious game changer if your local-based IDE is hoarding all your resources in your normie PC — like VS Code does a lot.

Tari for the last time, VS Code is a code editor and not an IDE!! Learn the difference for goodness sake!!!

Ah yes, a code editor that eats up several gigabytes of RAM and gobbles up all your battery life that your OS itself starts complaining bitterly.

Such a lightweight code editor.

Most certainly not an IDE.

Anyway so I could really see the difference between VS Code and IDX in my past PC.

Like when it came to indexing files in a big project, to enable language features like Intellisense & variable rename.

VS Code would sometimes take forever to load and it might not even load fully -- bug?

I would have to reload the window multiple times for the editor to finally get it right.

But with IDX it was amazing. The difference was clear.

Once I loaded the project I had the all the features ready. Everything happened instantly.

Because all the processing was no longer happening in a weak everyday PC but now in a massively powerful data center with unbelievable speeds.
