I think they are using ssh to reach the desktop, not running a local editor/ide.

  Rather inefficient I would have expected Google devs to run an IDE locally

    Less efficient but far more secure.

    Unless you’re working on open-source projects like Chrome, Google source code isn’t permitted on laptops for InfoSec reasons.

      I would expect most of not all development would be done on desktops for that reason (and also for improved ergonomics and faster computers are always better) and there is no requirement for ide's to store any code locally.

  My understanding is that the software builds, runs and tests on desktops they SSH into. The sources either live on the Desktops or have a sync system setup. Either way, they need some proper editors or IDEs to work with locally on the CBs. Are there any tools with good enough experience that can do remote code editing available generally on any platform (and not just chromebooks?)
