Playing with this some more, I would also want to be get more transparency on what the business model is for this product.
Open source is great when it's running on your own equipment cos you know who's picking up the running costs (you).
Clearly this product will need resource to run and scale with growth and I would want to know how they company intends to pay for this. If it works I don't mind paying for something like this like I do BaseCamp, CampFire, GitHub - but would want to know what it might look like upfront.
They offer cloud hosting (powered by Amazon). The IDE serves as a bait to get signups, since it makes it very easy to deploy on their service (single-click deployment). It's pretty decent, too. They have a free 15-day trial with 256gb ram and 5gb storage, and that one is only $10/month after the trial is over (down from $25). The others go from $49-$169.
I think they really have something here, if they had Ruby support I'd jump on it: it reminds me of Heroku (garden) when it was a web based Rails IDE, but this seems just a bit better performing, at least from my end.
