You get a browser-based IDE plus a real terminal on an AWS-backed environment, so you can code, run commands, debug, install tools, and interact with AWS services. The second-best part is collaboration. Sharing a dev environment for pair programming, live editing, and chatting inside the IDE is genuinely useful, especially for onboarding, workshops, and debugging Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.
It can feel dated versus modern IDEs. Compared with VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, GitHub Codespaces, or local devcontainers, Cloud9’s editor experience is less compelling. The core idea is good, but the IDE itself never became the best part of the workflow.
The “browser IDE” sounds simple, but the actual setup can still involve EC2 instances, IAM permissions, VPC networking, SSH, disk sizing, package installs, and cost hygiene.
Live sharing is nice, but it is not enough to offset weaker ecosystem momentum. Modern teams often want first-class GitHub/GitLab integration, devcontainer reproducibility, prebuilds, richer extensions, and local IDE parity. Bewertung gesammelt von und auf G2.com gehostet.
