I've been enjoying Codespaces. It's really slick. My Macbook Air was having trouble running all of the development tools I wanted use. Moving everything to the cloud - including Postgres, Redis, backend dev server, linting, and frontend Nuxt server - means my battery life has improved and I could even be developing on a $200 chromebook.
I know I'm missing out on the ability to develop code while offline - e.g., on an airplane. But, in my experience - modern code increasingly relies on webhooks and APIs for basic functions. So, I think most web app code can't be expected to be run in an "offline" mode once it reaches sufficient maturity.
