I'm not really a fan of in-browser IDEs. To me, it seems like a good way to constrain tooling environments.
What I would love to see is an extension that runs all of my tests and debugger in a type 1 hypervisor that can simply send a set of instructions to setup the VM, a snapshot of the changeset, and allows a developer to run that exact environment on their machine. Combine that with LiveShare and you have something that closely mimicks the experience of handing a keyboard and mouse back and forth during pairing.
