I started with them. First Cloud9, then Nitrous and eventually, I ended with...
- A cheap VM on Digital Ocean close to my location
- tmux
- vim
I have never been so productive before and they give me more flexibility than any cloud dev service at a much cheaper price point. And now after two or three years, I am a tmux, vim, console pro. Everything else compared feels slow and limited.
- boltn 10y agoThis. What else is a cloud dev environment supposed to provide?
- throw20161123 10y agoWhat size droplet do you use and what kind of apps do you develop on it? I see the cheapest one has only 512MB RAM.
- dsl 10y agoIt is VIM, not Eclipse. A few megabytes of memory is really all you need.
- icebraining 10y agoDepends if you also want to run tests, like one often does in their local machines.
- greenspot 10y agoI have the $10 package with 1GB RAM but the smaller one for $5 with 512MB should also work (depending on your use case/dev environment).
- realstuff 10y agoUntil you need a solid search that spans across the nested directories then you start wasting significant time with regular expression and complex commands.

- realstuff 10y agoLooks like it searches the filenames, I am referring to file contents. Does it support that?
- greenspot 10y agoNo, but what about locate, grep and find? Locate is the fastest, find is the slowest and grep is the most complex but also the most versatile one of these since you can use regexes. It's the shell and you can use anything you want.
- realstuff 10y agoLocate searches the filenames, too.
- atmosx 10y agoGNU grep should be able to handle a few hundred small files easily for a few MB of free ram...
- realstuff 10y agoYeah, but it's not as convenient as a GUI search in, say, Sublime.
- icebraining 10y agoThat's debatable. For me, typing "gr <expression>" (my abbreviation for recursive grep) is quite fast and convenient.

- thenipper 10y agoI did this for a few years. It was really great. I could take snapshots of my dev environment and when inevitably installed too many vim plugins just reset back to my last good 'state'.
