This looks really nice. Will probably use this instead of heroku next time I need to use it.

#12How is Nitrous different from cloud9?
edit:
It seems Nitrous is a mix between Heroku and C9.

#13As someone from the cloud world, I love this stuff. I wish we had built this at Microsoft for Windows Azure.
dont give up, dont wish, build this for Microsoft for Windows Azure

#15being a big c9.io user nitrous.io does have that same look and feel...however I really dislike the credit system in my expereince anytime a company has tried to use some kind of credit system its usually never good for those devs who simply cant pay or simply dont want to...but overall love the look and feel "cant wait to start slinging some mad js"
Though like Heroku, you start out with enough 'free' to cover the base model so you don't have to pay anything.

#16I really dig the concept. Having seen the downsides of vagrant on a few projects, I'm definitely interested in the feasability of cloud-hosted dev environments. Virtualization on top of cloud servers could make this cheaper than running your own, and if you got clever you could probably setup shared services for SOA heavy architectures.

#17Help me understand. Why do I want to move my development to the cloud? I grok a Heroku competitor, but I'm really having a hard time understanding what I could possibly gain from developing in the cloud?

Easily share a development environment with your team seamlessly. _Everybody_ is on the same page from day 1. I think that's a great selling point.

#19If this could implement an inspection-view tool ala chrome inspector that actually made front-end styling changes then I'd never leave the browser.

#20I really like this idea (and maybe I'm just dumb) but I really didn't get from the homepage that this was for actual deployed applications, not just a collaborative web dev environment. In particular, I really need to know what backend services (if any) are available. Almost everything I write uses at least Postgres and Memcached, are those available? Even just a list of addons/backends would be incredibly helpful.
You're wrong this is _only_ for testing and development. NOT production applications.
Straight for the horses mouth:
