I'd love to see someone build an IDE that lives locally but syncs up to a cloud service so I can pull everything back down to a different machine and work there. I think you could actually do this with Docker, where your "IDE" would not be an editor, but a virtual system with the code, the database, a web server, the right version of Python/Ruby/foo, dependencies, etc., and you could use whatever editor you wanted.

One of the nice things about TFS is the whole shelving things, it doesn't pass the tests yet, but you want to switch machines, makes it a lot easier than having some personal branch / patch set etc.
I sometimes wonder, can cloud IDE's will really be able to replace traditional code editors like Sublime Text, Vim, Emacs. I really like the idea of cloud IDE's, but practically it's difficult to bring the entire development environment on cloud/browser, and even more difficult when switching from Vim. Anyways, I really appreciate the efforts you are putting in this project. Congrats guys/gals, job well done.
What advantage do you see versus just the ability to edit remote files (which has been around for decades) or sync local files with a server (a.k.a. "cloud storage")? Why suffer the UI limitations (solvable), latency (not solvable), and unreliability (not solvable) of having your development environment sitting on a server somewhere?
