As I see it: people spend lots of time (collectively) when it comes to setting up new environment. Whether you're new developer who just came to the project, whether you're asked to help on another project, whether you need to fix a bug in some old project. I can spend hour setting up project and then 1 minute delivering a fix. Usually I just use notepad to edit source files and then cmd to build and test, but that's not very good environment and many developers are not proficient enough to work with notepad and cmd.
So web IDE definitely have its uses. I think that it's not ready for most projects, because Intellij provides vastly superior experience for almost all languages, but still I believe that VScode is the future and it'll surpass Idea at some day, because it's more open source.
Also, I hope, that all those remote workflows will be replicated with local setups. I don't see any reason not to other than locking user into your website. I mean VScode works locally, docker works locally, git works locally.
