Since I’ve migrated to web IDEs, my daily driver has become a Chromebook.

Privacy concerns apart, it gets the job done and the battery life is over 14 hours. I’ve migrated from Linux, which is also pretty good as a desktop, but feels a little less polished than ChromeOS.



Which web IDEs?


I've come to love coder.com (port of VSCode), I created a container on proxmox with a base install so I can create environments for any project. C9SDK is also a very solid choice it just isnt as stable as coder.com, lacks many features, and doesnt have the VSCode hype.


For now, AWS Cloud9. It’s pretty good for Python and JavaScript. Go support is subpar, but usable. Besides that, you have access to terminals, so you can use Vim and Emacs in text mode as well.

However, I’m evaluating using that new IDE from Eclipse (I think it’s called Dirigible), because it seems to have more mature Go support.
