Theia doesn't allow you to reuse your existing VS Code config.

## What's the difference between code-server and OpenVSCode-Server?

code-server and OpenVSCode-Server both allow you to access VS Code via a
browser. The two projects also use their own [forks of VS Code](https://github.com/cdr/vscode) to
leverage modern VS Code APIs and stay up to date with the upsteam version.

However, OpenVSCode-Server is scoped at only making VS Code avalible in the web browser.
code-server includes some other features:

- password auth
- proxy web ports
- certificate support
- plugin API
- settings sync (coming soon)

For more details, see [this discussion post](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/discussions/4267#discussioncomment-1411583).

## What's the difference between code-server and VS Code Codespaces?

Both code-server and VS Code Codespaces allow you to access VS Code via a
browser.

VS Code Codespaces, however, is a closed-source, paid service offered by
Microsoft. While you can self-host environments with VS Code Codespaces, you
still need an Azure billing account, and you must access VS Code via the
Codespaces web dashboard instead of connecting directly to it.

On the other hand, code-server is free, open-source, and can be run on any
machine with few limitations.
