Self-hosted Cloud IDE Overview

Hi everyone! I tried a few self-hosted cloud IDEs and wrote an article about them. VS Code via code-server, Jupyter Lab, JetBrains Gateway, and Zed are included.
I have excluded coder.com. It is a great option, but it was a bit more involved to set up, so it feels more like a company-wide tool than something you would want to deploy quickly for a solo project.
Let me know if something is missing. I'd be happy to include it in the overview.

cloud IDEs are still a thing? thought everyone is using cursor/windsurf/vscode nowadays
Previously was using Replit until they massively restructured their plans. Have since moved exclusively to a self hosted coder.com instance. Additionally have a few instances of code-server running here and there.
Other alternatives:
The issue with those is that you can't run them easily on your hardware. The most common use case is when you need to rent a GPU-Enabled machine for AI development and run some of your code on it.
