Do JavaScript experts consider JSBin a decent environment for this task? JavaScript is a bit verbose and I would resent simply the aspect of having to write a substantial amount of JavaScript without autocomplete. I just played with JSBin and it doesn't have autocomplete out of the box. Edit: whoa I just re-read the OP and found this > Most [candidates] tend to use the laptop & JSBin provided That's super hypocritical, OP (see your paragraph headed "Comfortable situation")! If you "provide" them with an environment of course most are going to use what you provide since that is what you are suggesting. So now you're filtering for people for whom that laptop model and the JSBin tool are familiar and comfortable. Or in the case of those that reject your environment and choose their own familiar and comfortable laptop and editor, you are filtering for those with the self-confidence to reject the suggestion of the interviewer, which doesn't really help with your stated goal. It's a shame because I like some of your other points :/
