5. Current state-of-the-art
Not nearly as complete as what the JDT
provides for Java developers
None of the existing tools provide a
great experience with content-
completion or refactoring

6. Orion Server
Server-side services exposed via
REST-oriented HTTP APIs
APIs provide services such as a
FileSystem, Search capacities, Git
