A fork by more people than just gitlab is going to be easier than a reimplementation created only by gitlab.

1) It is a product that exists, maintenance is easier than building from scratch in this case.

2) a consolidated effort by many people in maintaining a fork will allow much more effort than gitlab alone can spend.

3) mindshare on how vscode works already exists externally, a new webIDE doesn't have the same level of developer mindshare anyway.

As a paying gitlab customer I'd rather their money be spent on things that actually matter; reimplementing open source tools does not matter.
