So whether or not this specifically is going to pan out to anything, it has a fantastic nugget of an idea in the middle of it: There will be web-based API standards for tools dealing with code. These APIs represent a good thing, as now perhaps people will start creating great code tools to the API instead of to a specific editor/ide. As such, we get a start to the "standard code tools interface" I've wanted for a really really long time. tl;dr -- this could be the start of the end of "use this IDE because it can do X and this other IDE for Y" and the beginning of "Point your editor to Z for this functionality!"
