Ace vs Firepad: What are the differences?

Developers describe Ace as "Embeddable code editor written in JavaScript". Ace is a standalone code editor written in JavaScript. Our goal is to create a browser based editor that matches and extends the features, usability and performance of existing native editors such as TextMate, Vim or Eclipse. It can be easily embedded in any web page or JavaScript application. On the other hand, Firepad is detailed as "An open-source, real-time, collaborative code and text editing library built on Firebase". An open source collaborative code and text editor. Share documents and see changes occur in real-time.
