I haven't used skywriter, since it was bespin, but I was impressed with the progress at the time. http://kodingen.com/ looks pretty nice though.

I wish Kodingen was a little more focused on development and less on the "social" stuff. It has such amazing potential.

This seems like a promising implementation of Vi in Javascript: http://gpl.internetconnection.net/vi/

Nice, but heads up: it doesn't play nice with Vimium (chrome extension).

If it was done in a similar way to vimperator there should be a passthrough mode (ctrl-z in vimperator)

This is what I do on mine, Control + Alt + T; ssh user host; emacs -nw

Yes, as I said in the initial post, I know that is possible, but it misses the point. This requires a host that you want to develop on and as I move more to the cloud (i.e. hosting on Heroku), I am less likely to have a server to SSH into.
