Comment on Show HN: Codebox - Open-source cloud and desktop IDEparent

Comments

I really like the idea of cloud IDE's

What advantage do you see versus just the ability to edit remote files (which has been around for decades) or sync local files with a server (a.k.a. "cloud storage")? Why suffer the UI limitations (solvable), latency (not solvable), and unreliability (not solvable) of having your development environment sitting on a server somewhere?

So that you could work on glossy iPad, of course!
