You mean like Atom? A lot of the web IDEs are pretty good nowadays. Not decades behind desktop software.


No. Atom is a text-editor with plugins. It's no more a competitor for IntelliJ than UltraEdit was a competitor to Visual Studio.NET. (IMO)

But I was actually talking about in-browser environments like CodeAnywhere.


Depending on the language and stack you choose, a text editor with a terminal and a REPL may be all you need. I spend most of my day switching between emacs, a terminal and a browser.


Atom is in-browser. It just so happens to ship with its own browser (Atom-Shell is based on Chromium)...


Shilling for Microsoft huh? What makes you think that Google sells your personal info?


That Chromebook Flip is an awesome answer to the overpriced surface tablets. I'm amazed at the variety of chromebooks out there. Chromebooks might still be the biggest sellers again this christmas season.


Does it take down your computer when it bluescreens?
