It will be EXACTLY like MS Office IMO. They won’t drop the standalone version outright, but at some point all the new, compelling features will only go into the cloud version. We’ll pay for everything. We’ll be renting our syntax highlighting if they think people will tolerate it. I think we’ll pay per CPU cycle, but the cost will be based on feature tiers. IE: CPU cycles * features = mega profit.

You can use the exact same community written syntax highlighting extension in a different IDE without touching any Microsoft code at all...
