Why do you think this is a centralised/cloud IDE?
It still runs on your machine. But the architecture it's built on means that it can run anywhere. A similar architecture to VS Code where you can deploy the VS Code server in a docker container or a remote server and run the UI on your PC. You can still run the entire thing on your PC if you wish.
So long as they never remove the ability to run locally (they would be insane to ever do that), then I welcome this modular architecture that embraces standards like LSP.
- pjmlp 5y agoBeing old enough to have used thin terminals, they aren't insane, plenty of industries don't allow for local development.
- Philip-J-Fry 5y agoYes, but if they ever removed the ability to run locally altogether then they would be insane. Because there's plenty of people that do development on their local machine.
- pauleveritt 5y agoFYI, we haven't removed local. I'm demoing it in our booth at re:Invent, for Python with Django, in Fleet.
- tomjen3 5y agoMore to the point: you don't want to take your n-core x-gpu machine speced for machine learning under your arm to the meeting. But you would want to bring your thin-and-light machine with a remote ide session to that machine.
