Wow, I'm actually pretty sold. One question though, is there delay when typing in the browser as there normally is when you ssh into a box? That kinda drives me up the walls, and I am an emacs person.
The technology looks awesome but is this a pain point for people? I like developing on my local machine. Setting up an environment can be a pain but I only have to do it once. After that I forget about it. Also, it worries me to depend on a third party service and my Internet connection to get work done.
We're working on some great collaboration features and sandboxing that will definitely make it useful for power users. We've also got a solution that we're working on that will allow offline development so you can use native editors and can work offline. Stay tuned.
Looks really good, I hope the rails beta goes smoothly because I would really love to have this for Django. Loved the demo! PS. Why not: on console focus-loss -> file browser auto refresh

As long as you choose an availability zone that is closest to you when setting up the box, the latency will be minimal. In our experience with using Vim on our boxes, it was not a big problem. Emacs will run just as fine! (We aren't taking sides, I used Emacs a lot when I was doing Scheme.)
in case you are travelling...
It looks really interesting, but one of the things I like about standard Rails dev work is I can work offline fairly easily. Mostly this a weird 'I have a really long commute' thing, so I will be keeping an eye on this.
However I'm almost sure I don't want my Vim and terminals in the browser, there surely will be all sorts of quirks with copy/paste etc.
Can the remote filesystem be mounted so that we can just hack with our local terminals and editors?
This looks technically very interesting (how did you do the terminal emulation, is that an OSS library?).
