This seems pretty nifty. However, how does the IDE itself stack up against something like IntelliJ/PyCharm/Visual Studio/etc?
My current solution to needing to develop on multiple machines is to keep an external SSD with me that has a Linux VM development environment. It's inconvenient in certain ways, but I have a completely customized environment & toolchain that's reproducible and reliable anywhere VirtualBox is installed.
I would be interested in a cloud solution, but the JetBrains products are so amazing and so I would be hesitant to migrate even with how clean this solution looks compared to mine.
I really does depend on how and what you use. We build Codeanywhere entirely and exclusively inside Codanywhere, and have teams that do the same, ranging from 5 people to 200 people. So all I can say is try it out and let us know how you feel it stacks up.
You cannot compare a web based IDE to a full featured GUI application as currently the GUI's win in terms of overall features, but where the web based IDE's excel is the flexibility of coding from anywhere without installing a full featured GUI on every machine.
