How well does it do with non-javascript code? If I could code ruby on rails on it, and deploy from w/in it to Heroku, I'd sign up today. (happy feature creep!)

We are working on it. We aim to support all the major languages and their popular frameworks soon. For now you have syntax highlighting for Ruby and more languages, which combined with GitHub integration already makes it a sweet platform to develop on.

Does it support textmate/sublime style syntax highlighting?

How do I actually get it to do anything? Clicking on a github project in the list does nothing.

Ok, I clicked fork (I don't think this is intuitive at all, why would you want to fork your own projects?), and I'm editing code.

Things that would prohibit me from using it:

* Can't upload my own tmTheme files.

* Cant't seem to change font, ignores my browser's "monospaced" selection. Why?

* Can I select branch somehow? This is not obvious. Perhaps in the project pane?

So far it's pretty frustrating in all fairness, and whilst it's a cool idea, wouldn't really make me switch from Sublime Text + Cyberduck.

When you are on your own computer, you clone from github to edit your project. See cloud9 as your own computer, but then in the cloud, accessible from anywhere. It should say 'clone' instead of 'fork' though. We'll change that.

- Themes: There is a converter script already in the open source project of Cloud9 on github. We'll add a way to upload your own themes soon.

- Font: Good suggestion. I'll add this to the feature todo list.

- Git: There is full git command line support. We're working on a Git UI, that's coming soon.

Thanks for the feedback, we know it's still early, but we're adding features very quickly.

This page --> http://c9.io/signin.html doesn't load for me (except for the banner) in: Google Chrome 9.0.597.98, WinXP Works on Firefox.

Works over here on Chrome 10 but thanks for reporting, we will try to reproduce your environment and fix it!
