This only seems appealing to people who:
1. Can't set up a development environment on their local machine for some reason (tablet?).
2. Also aren't smart enough to provision their own server.
3. Don't mind having all of their data 'in the cloud.'
4. Don't mind being at the mercy of a startup for mission critical features.
Along that vein, you wont see koding used for:
1. Anything mission critical.
2. Anything 'hacky,' because the hackers will be developing on their own machines (localhost or not).
3. Anything commercial (by smart companies, at least) because of the risk of code theft.
4. Anything that requires actual security.
What does that leave? I'm not really sure. I see two possible outcomes - koding becomes the pastebin (or github) of virtual machines, or koding becomes the basecamp of the 'DevOps' world. Can either of those things exist and provide a profit? What will the 'killer app' be?
