it's kinda neat..undo doesn't work (in chrome w/mac anyways). Can someone enlighten me with some practical purposes for these sorta things? My imagination isn't working.
So you're visiting your parents for Thanksgiving, and you get a call "LATCH! there's some issue with the thingamajig that we deployed before you left, urgent fixed required or the universe will ... be okay really; but could you please look into this ? I'll make it worth your while."
The only tool you have at your disposal is your mom's ChromeBox, since you decided to "disconnect" for the holidays.
But no fear ! You log in to a familiar, already configured Orion workspace, debug the shiznit out of the issue, save the day and have well deserved turkey-fueled nap ..
Because there was a power cut and your development machine isn't online, or the cleaner pulled the plug on it or maybe the sysadmins decided to change the network settings over the holidays.
I was replying to the previous comment, trying to say that you can't always guarantee that a remote machine will be available. There are more benefits than just having your development environment always available though, like not needing to install or set up anything when moving between machines, or being able to extend your development environment using the same language that you are developing in.

Anyone else see the contradiction?
If you need to disturb people's holidays to have them firefight software problems, the manager manager needs to be fired for allowing such a knowledge bottleneck to form.
Think of it as Google Docs for web development. Always available and you can collaborate on it with anyone without them having to set up a development environment or install anything.
