This has definitely been my favorite cloud IDE so far. I wonder if they're going to add any of this stuff to the open source component? Last commit was on Nov. 4, 2013, so I hope they haven't stopped that part of it. ( https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9 )

The new version is based on a completely new code base. We have a new core and eventually ported and rewrote most of the old plugins one by one. We're working on the APIs and documentation right now and want to bring the new version to github again pretty soon.

I find it weird that there is no mention of pricing anywhere. Even if you go to sign up and switch to "premium" it doesn't tell you how much it's going to cost you! Edit: They have now added $19/mo on the Premium signup page.

When I click the "UPGRADE TO PREMIUM" link on my dashboard there's huge text proclaiming "$19/month".

I've had good luck on Nitrous.io, even to the point that I'd seriously consider getting a Chromebook instead of a MacBook to do dev on. None of these systems truly replicates the experience and flow of using VIM for me, but Nitrous seemed like the one that got closest for me to a really solid dev environment/ide on the web with minimum hassle. I haven't used Cloud 9 in a long time, so maybe this update makes it bette…

I'm a user of both Nitrous and c9. What I love about Nitrous.io is the speed of their console and the power that seems to be allocated to each box. What I really don't like is the editor component that they use which likes to interfere with my coding style. When I ask it to indent certain lines it seems to take that as a license to make its own decisions as to what the appropriate tab stop should be. Recent versions…

You should check out the zed editor. Its something you can run locally (stand-alone or chrome app) and has a remote code component.

I've used these cloud IDEs, but haven't like any of the text editors they supply. Zed is amazing compliment to these services.

Awesome to hear! Looking forward to checking it out. Are you guys still using Architect? I love that module but I always felt it had a lot more potential -- wasn't sure if there were plans to enhance it at all.

Also note that all of our work on Ace was done directly on the open source repository " rel="nofollow">http://github.com/ajaxorg/ace>.

An update open source version of the IDE will follow soon.

There also doesn't seem to be any clear way to make a bulk purchase for a company instead of per individual.

Big fan of Zef's work though I haven't tried Zed yet. Another really cool tool is TEdit by Tim Caswell.

But before I toot their horns too loud, they are sort of competitors of mine as the creator of Plunker. Anyway, the more the merrier as long as well all get along and move the experience forward!

Yep, Zed is very nice, And it uses Ace editor component developed by Cloud9.

Didn't went that far, simply revoked access on my gh account.

I probably would have done the same if I hadn't already used it in the past. But it's worth checking out again. I tweeted support to let them know.

Ops, that was a mistake on our end, just fixed for everyone. Sorry!
