Great article. The comparison between online doc and remote development is very inspiring. And another point I wish to add, IMHO, for GDocs and GSheets, most of the user interactions happen within the document editor. With remote development, users switch focuses between code editor / terminal / debugger / build tools, etc., and each toolchain provides rich customizations. The Integrated Developer Environment is an `MxNxL` combination, one single killer feature (like “avoiding version skew” for online doc) would hardly be enough. And a top-down company mandate could be the stronger pull since the individual preferences of the `MxNxL` devtools would be irrelevant compared with some more significant concerns like Dev-Security / Immutable & Standardized dev envs.
