Hosting it myself would be a requirement for using a cloud IDE. Of course, there is still some lock-in, but the lock-in is the same with a desktop IDE.
In general, a cloud IDE has some nice promises: Initial setup is trivial; More efficient building and testing due to resource sharing in the cloud; Live collaboration is simpler. However, so far I'm underwhelmed by everything available.

- gravypod 11y agoAs Alblue says, Che seems to be a host-your-own alternative. I think this use case is something that I have been looking for. Writing some huge web/analytic application that needs a huge cluster? Throw in a few docker nodes with applications that have APIs that are needed for running the project. Good luck starting that on your laptop. For me, I want to ultimately have my laptop be downgraded to a chromebook or something small, cheap, and with a long battery life. To do that, tools like this really fill a nice area. Something I've been looking for.
