Someone could (and likely is) building a better Repl.it with Nix and Theia. It's fucking flabbergasting to me that everyone in this thread acts like Repl.it is some magical product.
And that's not even accounting for the half-dozen other production-quality VS-Code-in-browser projects.
Sorry, it's just not a unique space. Not surprising at an that an egostistic founder isn't handling it well.
