Looks exactly like R Studio... but browser-based.

I would have said spyder, since that's the de facto Python IDE for data science. But aren't both really just matlab?

Indeed. I don't like much the "looks exactly like .." comments, because (even if I sometimes do think them), similarity in interfaces is actually a great thing, as it allows more people to easily switch and pick from r/py/julia/matlab/octave/stata/spss or whatever language is more promising in other areas. In other words, it reduces the mental cost of switching.

This looks great, but they really should give some credit to R-studio. R-studio clearly inspired them more than SublimeText and Eclipse. - "It's heavily inspired by great projects like Sublime Text and Eclipse."

This IDE looks practically identical (even using the same tab names!) to RStudio.

It seems a bit disingenuous of op to not mention such a glaring copy. Not that it is an issue, the creator of RStudio seems pretty chill ... but still.
