https://github.com/theia-ide/theia Theia is the Monaco editor on a remote server. I've found the docker containers to be mostly stable

Theia is a lot more than that. Theia is an Eclipse project that is aiming for VS Code extension compatibility (and already has results to show for it).
Theia remains the furthest along of any that I've seen. I'd love to know if someone thinks another "VSCode in browser, running on a remote server" is along further; there seems to be a new one every other month!
Is it Electron based on the desktop as well, or web only?
"The frontend runs in modern browsers or as a Desktop app using Electron with either local or remote (cloud) backends." from https://www.theia-ide.org/
The Eclipse Che project (which I believe Theia is part of) is also very exciting in this domain.

Theia is an independent IDE framework. It used by products like Gitpod (http://www.gitpod.io), Google Cloud Shell, ARM Mbed Studio (https://os.mbed.com/studio/?utm_source=blog) and so on. Che is going to replace own old GWT based IDE with Theia.
