humorously, this makes the front page of HN the day I try out Eclipse Che, at the other end of the spectrum. http://www.eclipse.org/che/

Have you tried the on premise IDE https://www.eclipse.org/che/docs/setup/getting-started/ ? It's kinda cool but I don't see any pricing. Awesome if it is free!

If it wasn't so reliant on Apache or PHP I'd be more willing to try it out.

Unfortunately, I've experienced nearly every nightmare with the two, thanks to work, bad code, and absent documentation.

I don't want them on my machine.

Any plans for a self-contained bundle?

It sounds like it's written in PHP, so dependency isn't likely to go away, but it specifically says it should work fine with a server other than apache.

As for your specific issues, I find it hard to follow your complaint when it comes to docs. Both php and apache httpd projects have extensive, easy to follow documentation.

I realise PHP can't go away, hence "self-contained bundle".

The docs I referenced are not the official documentation, but rather mind-bendingly bad systems I've had to deal with that were undocumented.

PHP isn't necessarily bad. But bad experiences mean I hate it.

Hide the PHP in a nice self-contained system, and I won't care, plus it'll simplify install/setup.

It is free but the IDE isn't exactly finished yet.
