This looks nice but it&#x27;s missing one feature that&#x27;s stopped me from adopting services like this after having tried a couple of them - let me download the VM!<p>There are I think two fundamental problems with remote IDEs. One is of course offline mode, and I don&#x27;t think &quot;sync your code later&quot; is a solution unless it also lets you &quot;test your code now&quot;. The other is remote resource restrictions that mean you can only use a remote IDE for <i>some</i> of your projects and still have to maintain a complete local environment for everything else.<p>Being able to download the VM means local hardware for projects that need more hardware, and <i>real</i> offline mode for people that need it. Going open source allows for this but it still leaves all the work of setting up each box which can be a real PITA (cloud9 is <i>very</i> hit-or-miss) and that can probably be monetized especially with the added benefits of remote access for when that is better or necessary.

So far I have never felt need of such a service, remote IDE. I guess I&#x27;m not the target market...

Well, other than it not actually working, its fine. I click &#x27;start editing&#x27; after setting up a box and it prompts me for a username and password.
