Oh, huh, I didn't even realize. I do wonder how far the two codebases have diverged (especially with the recent "Better Together" update on Bedrock). Kind of a shame MakeCode doesn't work on Java Edition, since that's where I invested my time.
I personally have a JE server hosted through a company that I play on. I like the ability to have server-side plugins (through Spigot) and being able to back up my world automatically offsite.
