- brilliantcode 10y agoyup, this was what I was referring to in my other comment. a cloud based IDE is certainly lighter than VS. the fact that it's accessible anywhere is a huge plus. I would still like to see a desktop version of C9, sort of like Atom & Microsoft Visual Code. It's going to be hard to justify using Google Cloud after this when I know I'm most likely to ditch Azure in the process as well.
- jptman 10y agoDoesn't Google already have a web based, but internal only, IDE? I don't know if that'd be easy to make external, but my understanding is that they've got a lot of internal users on it.
- JeremyBanks 10y agoYeah, and Cider was getting surprisingly good at the point I left Google (I was initially a skeptic). But so much of what made it good came from its tight integration with other internal tooling. I'd be surprised if it's ever externalized in a form that captures most of that value.
