Too risky and missing features of whatever their favorite editor is.&lt;p&gt;But how about letting people push their code up via git? So you could have a runnable browser window open, push your changes up to your runnable repo and then hit run?&lt;p&gt;If this does turn out to be the key that breaks this open please remember it was my idea.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>bmuon</author><text>Here&apos;s another idea. JSBin is doing something pretty awesome: it uses the HTML5 File API so that you can select a file from your computer and it syncs to different instances of the same bin while you edit it in your favorite editor. Check it out: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY56fNmn2cE&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY56fNmn2cE&lt;/a&gt; (keep in mind the video was taken during development, now it&apos;s pretty stable).&lt;p&gt;BTW some people like editing in the browser and that&apos;s why Cloud9IDE is alive.</text></comment>

It really closely mirrors Sublime Text 2 as far as default functionality and appearance goes. Of course, I&apos;m coming from a Visual Studio IDE background rather than a Vim/Emacs background, so I can&apos;t vouch for its usefulness for users more accustomed to that type of work environment.&lt;p&gt;Note: not affiliated with Cloud 9</text></comment>
