Once fully integrated with AWS, this could offer a rather exciting, low friction way to work on the platform.

(Maybe there's even a play for getting this stuff into the hands of non-engineering employees. Build the "Excel" of APIs, if you will?)

The last thing this world needs is mission-critical software edited willy-nilly through a "convenient" web browser interface. We as an industry can barely put our pants on in the morning on the best of days, and now this.

One can make guesses:

- expanding into new verticals

- potentially "enabling" Cloud9 users to become users of other AWS services

- world domination!

I hope they won't be shut down in 6 month , C9 is handy when it comes to trying new techs quickly.
