I've dabbled with c9 before Amazon ingested them. It's part of my experiment to see if I can use ChromeOS for my home machine, and so far it's going great. At work I have a 64GB machine with 3 monitors and Ergodox, but for home I don't need a lot. I've been able to get ChromeOS to do OpenVPN and SSH, which cover 90% of work responsibilities from home. Otherwise, I'm mostly in a browser, or SSHing to my personal EC2 box. I don't get much programming time lately, but that is the remainder of it, largely on github. So c9 is something I need to investigate more. So far ChromeOS is working great, and is far easier to maintain than Linux or Windows. It is less capable in some ways, but I don't really need those ways at home.
