Not to pull attention away from the OP but do these web-based dev environments have any traction in larger organizations? To me this seemed like a novel way to enforce strictness in SDLC for junior devs writing javascript-like code but never came close to having the real IDE on your machine.
The only area where I can see this making sense is in the realm of AI/ML where you need beefy GPU's and resources to train models and it's easier to keep them close to the runners.
What's the value prop for something like this (or code spaces, or <insert name of some cloud dev ide service>)?
If you need reproducible builds? Why not just use docker?
