Would/Do you use Cloud-based IDEs?
I'm wondering what people think of using a Cloud-based IDE such as shiftEDIT.net or cloud9ide.com.
Have you found it useful? Do you like the idea? Would you use it?
I'm asking as a developer looking at different tools out there.
While the idea is enticing - being able to use the same IDE where ever I have access to Internet and browser - it seems like these IDEs are missing support for back-end technologies like Rails/Node.js/PHP/etc.
What do you folks think?
- us 16y agoI personally love what I'm using now so it'd be extremely difficult to switch to anything else much less work with an online base IDE (which I'm not fond of; translated as I don't really care for an online IDE).
- daleharvey 16y agoI currently use emacs and love its ability to be customised however I love what the cloud9 guys are doing, I have started building a very specific editor (for couchdb couchapps) using the underlying ACE editor and I would love to see cloud9 or similiar turn into an emacs like generic editor that is suitable for any platform and fully customisable. I am moving more and more of my apps to web based equivalents and would really like by the end of the year to be using a web based ide full time (and by web based I do not mean that it runs in the cloud, I mean built with html / css / js, I run cloud9 locally)

- IamNagz 16y agoi like the idea...have never used it though....trying it now :D
- adamjimenez 16y agoShiftEdit already has syntax error checking for PHP
- misham 16y agoSure and Cloud9 is working on getting PHP/Ruby/etc. integrated into their environment, but when you're working on the project you're using more than just PHP or Ruby or JS, it's a combination of several technologies - your application stack - that you run your code on. It seems that's what's missing.
