Why is that background image 4000 x 3000?!

Your IDE looks darker than the default flat white theme? I like the flat theme a lot but can't stand the brightness, I hope you find some time to make a dark version of the flat theme! That said, yours is by far the best "web IDE" I've tried so far, congrats! =)

Hum 5MB background image of dogfood for an article about an IDE.

Thinking maybe the tech team did not design this post ;)

You have good eyes :) The screenshot uses the "legacy" white theme that didn't have the flat look yet. It did have a few more dark colors at the edges, which is why it was used for this screenshot. We plan to work with our designer on darker versions of the flat light theme. Until we release those, I can recommend using something like f.lux (https://justgetflux.com/) to make it nicer to work with bright web sites and applications in low-light conditions.

I've noticed a huge improvement over time and am really impressed with how well it works now. I forget when I first used c9, but it was more of a novelty than a productive tool. I'm also really enjoying the way the terminal works, feels integrated.

I've never tried the nested stuff, or would even think of it, but it sounds pretty cool. Hope to see more improvements and features in the future.
