The Future of the GitLab Web IDE

This post announces the decision to replace the current Web IDE with one built on top of VS Code. This involves integrating VS Code core into the GitLab UI, running entirely in the browser, and bundling the GitLab Workflow extension. The goal is to leverage VS Code's extensive features and extension ecosystem to provide a more powerful IDE experience within GitLab. The post also mentions plans to enhance the core editing component to support multi-file editing for simpler workflows.
