Perhaps even more importantly, Cloud9 is based on the ACE code editor ( http://ace.ajax.org/ ) which, by itself, is a really phenomenal piece of work. When you look under the hood it's way more complex than you might imagine.

I'm trying to extend ACE with syntax highlighting for a DSL we use. Has anyone done this? It seems a bit daunting (each language included with ACE seems to import code from all over the place--unlike say, Textmate, where you can just write an independent file for each language)

(BTW: New cloud9 looks really neat. Very impressive stuff)

Hi Alan, I'm super excited to tell you that this new version has fixed at least 50% of your issues, and we are tackling those others very very soon. We support PHP now, both in syntax highlighting as well as running. With this release we included one private project for Free accounts! You can always reach us via twitter or support@c9.io. Cheers, Ruben

I attempted to use it in Chrome and Firefox on Lion. When I go to clone to edit a github repository, it just sits at this http://i.imgur.com/cLcum.png

I'm also having problems, but in Chrome on Arch. It hangs for a while telling me my git repository is being cloned, eventually telling me that [repository name] workspace already exists. Upon choosing a new name and continuing, it just keeps hanging indefinitely.

I was really excited to give this a try, but I have to say that the sign up process and the upgrade to premium were both a rather trying experience. First, I ended up with a confusing situation where I had two accounts - not that big a deal, but a minor pain.

The real issue came when signing up for premium. First, requiring me to have a PayPal account is bad form - please provide some alternative to this. But, I decided to go ahead anyway, I got the subscription set up through PayPal, and was redirected to cloud 9 where I was supposed to have access to these awesome paid features, right? Nope. It has now been two hours and I'm still getting a "we're waiting for confirmation from the payment provider". Paying for something and not getting instant access is really poor UX - I hope you guys will see this and take it as constructive criticism.

Looking forward to finally giving it a try.

I really really want this product to work. I can see the potential/benefit in it. But every time I try it I'm left disappointed.

I just signed up with my github acct and it does not let me clone even a single private repository (username: aeon).

I'm happy to report a different experience. I've had major issues every time I tried it before, but this is the first time it is actually usable. And it works well!

I installed it on my own server. Editing local files. As always, it was a major pain to install (instructions fail for latest stable node, had to install v6 for it to work). However, after installation, it worked like a champ.

Some of the fancier features are still buggy, but the basics are solid.

Great job guys! Seriously thinking about using this to write code that puts food on the table.

I've been a paying customer for a month or two. Seems like a very nice update, however it broke git for me. $ git commit -m "Small fixes." error: pathspec 'fixes.' did not match any file(s) known to git.

Seems that -m doesn't take quotes in their terminal. This ought to work:

    git commit -m Small Fixes
But I can't find a way to push to my repo on GitHub. I get this error:

    Permissions 0640 for '/var/lib/stickshift/a5a56c6a46e2dd7/app-root/data//.ssh/id_rsa' are too open.
    It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by others.
    This private key will be ignored.

Love it. Love it. Love it. This is like having Sublime in the browser, anywhere, anytime. Just need autocompletion and key shortcut remapping.

We do now have autocompletion. You can flip it on in your Settings panel. Also, try hitting Command-Shift-E (I think Ctrl-Shift-E for Windows/*nix) to get a code outline of your current file.

Why isn't it on by default?

I wrote a LaTeX syntax highlighter for it. I found the easiest thing was to copy and paste a simple one and build from there.

  bin|⇒ ./c9 
  path.existsSync is now called `fs.existsSync`.
  ERROR: Could not determine your mac address! Make sure you are connected to the internet for the first run and login.
I'm pretty sure that I'm connected to the Internets. I do have a non standard setup where br0 is a bridge to eth0 due to having a bunch of KVM instances floating around, but the question is: why does it need my MAC address in the first place?

Maybe I'm really completely outdated, but I would like my IDE to be able to open a file in 5 seconds. It should not take me less than a minute to figure how to open a file either. I work on a lot of small scripts that don't even get commited (and are very likely forgotten).

I personally had horrible experience with the previous version (nothing worked) and still waiting to finish hg clone of stuff (and migration of a small package). SIGH I think I'll give a go for the next version.

That said the idea is absolutely incredible, but a little leaner first-steps would be awesome. Since this is in the web anyway, can I just go and edit a file on the web to see how it works? I don't particularly care if anyone sees it or if it even gets saved. I want to be able to play with a demo.
