This is a big problem. As a mostly Java developer, the way I see it, none of the major three Java IDEs (Eclipse, NetBeans and IDEA) seem to move this way. Eclipse has announced Orion (http://mmilinkov.wordpress.com/2011/01/11/introducing-orion/ http://mmilinkov.wordpress.com/2011/01/11/introducing-orion/ ) but that's very incipient and I don't think they are putting a lot of weight behind it.
Cloud9 seem to 'get' the idea and I do hope they shake things up a bit but although they release the code, I think they are basically a for-profit entity, so I would feel much more confortable if some open-source community/foundation would start building something like this.
