I've used c9.io for years. You're trading some nice IDE features you'll get with VSCode or others for convenience, but not as many as you'd think. Although the interface is rather out-dated, it's a solid IDE and I thoroughly enjoy being able to just walk away from my code and pick it up anywhere on anything. With EC2 integration, it may cut out what I had been doing, which was turn up a digital ocean droplet and use the SSH workspace in c9.io and boom, I had a full VM to dev on that anyone can reach anywhere.

EC2 seems like it would be considerably more expensive than a DO droplet over time.

  It has auto-hibernation so I think it would be cheaper.

    You can install c9 on any host you want that it has ssh access to. I'm testing it right now on my lifetime free f1-micro google instance as we speak.

AWS Cloud9 also supports SSH workspaces :) (I work for AWS Cloud9)

  What are you doing on hacker news? Go add a mobile breakpoint so I can ditch my laptop altogether. ;) (Fully converted to C9 6 months ago)
