I helped out one of my friends that ran a spring break coding camp for middle school girls where we used Cloud9 back when it was free (pre-aquisition at least). We had easy access to chromebooks, so it made sense, especially since you could have a teacher account where you could set up accounts for students. They have a similar teacher mode today, but getting it set up looks more involved, and I'm not sure what the features and pricing are.
I wonder who the main users are. Schools certainly make sense with the notoriously locked down computers.
There appears to be more free competitors now, so I'm curious what we'd use today. Eclipse Theia looks like VSCode, so that'd probably the most appealing to a lot of teams like mine. Eclipse Che/Codeenvy looks like the most popular. There's a lot more low-key options for sure. Has anyone tried Github Codespaces?
