The user should be able to select what IDE they prefer and the options should be:

  • vscode in the browser
  • vscode in the desktop + vscode in the browser (fallback)
  • pycharm + vscode in the browser (fallback)
  • webstorm + vscode in the browser (fallback)
  • intellij + vscode in the browser (fallback)
  • ...

Additionally, the user should be able to select the version for each IDE. (e.g. desktop vscode latest + browser vscode stable as fallback).

@gtsiolis Do you have any ideas on how to visually present these options?

Rough wireframe suggestion for how this could look, where the cloud/browser option has to be selected (no off) and the Desktop is defaulted to off, but can be enabled as one of the IDE's.

I think getting the help text and language right will be important.

Later, we might want to consider a "master" default which is set across both these categories (desktop/browser).

So, for example, if the user wants to use VSCode Desktop 100% of the time, there is a smoother UX to launching workspaces:

  • Directly from the dashboard
  • Also via a CLI if they're using SSH primarily

Note: I don't think this is necessary for early iterations, though.

...then we can hopefully remove the decision point when opening a workspace where the user is given the option of which IDE on start (screenshot below).

We should extract VS Code Desktop to another issue.

Given that JetBrains is now showing in the dashboard, I've extracted @akosyakov's point about the VSCode Desktop IDE's here: #6488 so I'll go ahead and close this issue for now.
