Developing inside a web application running on someone's server is super slow. Give me a proper PC / Mac and I'll run circles around those online IDEs

I guess I have never noticed a lag time but I have also never developed on my PC. I like the online IDEs because I can work on any computer on my project. I don't have to be tied to developing on one compute. I guess I could use Github.

@JanVladimirMostert, interesting! what about self-hosted/private cloud IDE provisioned only for specific people?

I've been using Cloud9 for good while and have never had an issue with lag.
Still too slow, missing tons of shortcuts, missing vim shortcuts and security is a concern as well
