Can somebody who has used both Akshell and Cloud9 IDE post a brief comparison?

I didn't used both but gave try to bespin when it appeared (it evolved to cloud9 as i know) and liked. it's an advantage to have a universal gui, to not ignore users of other platforms. btw, i put some effort to build an online ide 4 years ago. i stopped maintaining it because my dream tool was evolved to firebug lite. anyway, my died ide can be seen at vimeo.com/azer for some web nostalgia

  Just a small correction, Bespin evolved into Ace (which Akshell uses as their code editor), which was created by the guys that created Cloud9 (Ajax.org). Cloud9 is the actual IDE that uses Ace as its code editor. Find ace here: http://ace.ajax.org http://ace.ajax.org and Cloud9 here: http://c9.io http://c9.io

    thanks for correcting. I've tried akshell also, it seems great.

From my very brief test of both: The main difference is that cloud9Ide is a general purpose IDE, while akshell is intended as a tool for Akshell platform development. Akshell is an IDE (version 0.3 currently) to create javascript apps on the Akshell infrastructure. Which seem to be based nodeJS, or something similar: "The Akshell engine is based on Google V8. It compiles JavaScript code into native code; so execution is utterly fast." The Akshell infrastructure seems to be composed of a javascript/html framework, a relational database javascript API, the IDE to create apps, a git server to host code, and a infrastructure to handle deployment and scale of apps. It claims that the platform will be open sourced soon, so you will be able to host apps on your own server. The cloud9ide is a more general IDE, with syntax highlight for various languages: javascript, ruby, python, html, css, coffee script, XML, PHP, and more may be added in the future. Some features provided are integration with github, nodeJS debugging, team chat and team management, an extensions mechanism, and themes. I find syntax highlight to perform similar on both IDEs. Cloud9ide license is free for open source projects, with a monthly fee for private projects. I couldn’t find license terms on the Akshell Ide. Currently they are on open beta, and I suppose that pricing terms will be announced at a later time.
