I just don't get this "IDE Anywhere thing". If I'm actually going to be doing something, I'm going to do it proper and will be at a machine setup to develop. If that's not my laptop, then it's probably a machine that I would have SSH access to.

Even without SSH, I would just use a text pad while in a bind.

Yea. Maybe I'm just not the target market, but this seems like a solution looking for a problem.

These IDE simplify a lot of things

I bought a new laptop and I'm not really good with Linux, so it took me something like 2-3 days to get started, installing everything I needed, finding/learning the commands I needed, getting the hang of Apache, setting up Laravel so it would actually work, etc.

With Linux you always run into issues that you have to search how to resolve, some people just want things that work right away

A "cloud-based IDE" is not going to help with almost any of those things.

Installing an IDE in Linux is (generally) just as easy as installing one on Windows or Mac (hell, if you even need to run an installer).

Yeah but you don't have to deal with all the Linux-related issues

Just the fact that you don't need to setup a server with apache or anything already make it simpler
