> When using the browser as code-editor, we are entering a world of new problems. The browser is designed to abstract away the local file system, and is based upon a read-only/execute-only model. In order to “fix” this we have introduced a new type of browser extensions, that’s trying to fix this. It isn't really a read-only environment! It can't read anything! All the browser can do is GET and POST things... ...so maybe the problem with web development is that it is all based on files?
