On the database website, I didn't see any alternatives to GitHub, or even a category for that I could submit to.

"Software development, collaboration & hosting"?

Here are some:

Alternative to... lots of stuff: GitHub, Google, Gmail, Google Docs, Discord, Skype, Reddit, Twitter etc

  • Disroot (Netherlands, non-profit)

Alternative to Microsoft VS Studio Marketplace (extensions for VS Studio IDE)

Open source alternative to Microsoft VS Studio IDE, with Microsoft telemetry removed

It's not FOSS, but the Jetbrains suite has a bunch of IDEs and now an editor and it's I think either a Czech or Polish company. Of course going from electron to Java isn't gonna make things any less bloated. But the specialized IDEs tend to provide slightly more tooling then just vs code and an LSP.

Ahh jetbrains, my guilty pleasure. So good but not OSS...

If it makes you feel any better, their core IDE (basically just IntelliJ) is open source. There are community editions of IntelliJ, Pycharm and now some kinda free-for-non-commercial-use license for the Rust one, as well as Rider and WebStorm.

It's the plugins that make up their other IDEs and the Ultimate versions that are not FOSS. Unfortunately, those plugins are pretty important.

They have 724 public repositories on Github, mostly with permissive open source licenses I think.

If you're going proprietary, Jetbrains is one of the better companies to do it with IMO.
