#12ive moved my entire development environment to cloud9 on a chromebook and i couldnt be happier with the performance and lack of overhead needed on my part. thanks!
Chromebook is actually what got me started as well :) Now it's also nice to be able to jump from Chromebook to Macbook to work computer if needed. Glad you're enjoying it!
Full disclosure: I am part of the C9 team

#14400,000 lines of original source code sound really impressive! are you sure about that? Does sloccount say that or some wc -l ?
400K physical SLOC including comments. Count without inline docs/comments was >320K.

[edit] I think it sounds somewhat unimpressive, as shorter code is often better code. Anyway it is true and I'm curious why so much code is needed. Here's the output using cloc on their core github repo (so this does include, e.g., the ace editor):
Javascript: files: 1125, blank lines: 58790, comments: 114390, code: 330409.

#17Your 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! =)
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 a…
Oh no, I have terrible eyes, that's the point! ;) I've been a happy user of f.lux for a long time! =)

#18Why is that background image 4000 x 3000?! https://c9.io/blog/content/images/2015/07/Chatuchak_Weekend_...
Hum 5MB background image of dogfood for an article about an IDE. Thinking maybe the tech team did not design this post ;)
In this case the tech team recently switched to Ghost for blogging and didn't realize that it doesn't automatically scale images when you upload them :)

#19Great article, it's good to hear about IDE companies dogfooding and using that to improve their product.
I don't want to call you out but in https://c9.io/blog/content/images/2015/07/recursion.png you're really only running C9 in C9 - the rest have the same URL.
