FWIW there's a bunch of stuff Erdos has that Positron doesn't (including having solved Positron's top 5 open GitHub issues):
1. Remote development via SSH or containers
2. AI that can connect to ChatGPT, local models, or our backend
3. In-line code execution for Qmd/Rmd files
4. Julia as a first class citizen
5. Multi-agent chats: as many AI sessions as you want and they’ll all run in parallel
6. Windows ARM64 builds
7. Open source AGPLv3 license
8. A bunch of other misc items including read-write data explorer for CSVs and TSVs, plots history sorted by file and time, searchable help, a command history tab, etc
Maybe the biggest difference going forward is that Positron was a ~2 year dev project, whereas Erdos reached feature parity (plus or minus some features) in about ~2 months and is now adding substantial brand new functionality every week.
Will, thanks for the explanation. This changes my view a lot. Will give it a try.
