Using Chrome packaged apps makes compilation problematic if not impossible as well as running command-line functions. The file model for Chrome packaged apps is similar to the Mac App Store in that you can access files but you have to get explicit permission for each one you open. There's also an internal file system to the app that you can create. I write HTML5 apps but also do quite a bit of Java moving between different projects during the course of the day and running some command-line functions too. Happy Edit as it appears today wouldn't give me parity to how I use vim. If I were on a Chromebook, I would probably just use tmux/screen and a ssh session.
