Ask HN: What are the best options for cloud IDEs?

Cloud9 also supports remote ssh workspaces which is very useful. The default workspace runs inside a container where you have root. They give you a public https route mapped to the container.
As the cofounder of Codeanywhere I would love your thoughts on our service?
Thanks :)
Thanks :)
One that was not mentioned is Codeanywhere https://codeanywhere.com
As the founder of Codeanywhere, I thank you for the link :)
You can have a look at Eclipse Che, I tested it not so long ago and it was pretty good.
My personal favorite: Cloud9 (c9.io). Includes many built-in functionalities and they have a responsive support team.
I'd been using Cloud 9 c9.io. It's really good since it gives you a terminal and repl shell to play with.
The only issue is that c9 seems more suited for web development.

I like Nitrous (nitrous.io/) - they have just reintroduced a free plan.
I use it to code C++. It's nowhere near the levels of VS2015, obviously, but it allows me to have a free dev box in the cloud.

Loving Cloud9 (c9.io) We've been using it for over a year now as our primary team development tool and couldn't be happier.
One of the ones I recall seeing (and can't remember) allowed you to use your own Digital Ocean/AWS instance instead of using theirs. I've also seen an old post on reddit suggesting a DIY instance of Codebox (https://github.com/CodeboxIDE/codebox) but it no longer appears to be updated.
The others I've heard of are Koding (https://koding.com/features/solo#get-started), Codio (https://codio.com), and Runnable (https://runnable.io/, doesn't appear to be an IDE).

codenvy.com was neat but I ended up going back to net beans and Visual studio
Codio has been my favorite. Very great for web development. I used it for a couple years to program from chrome books!
However, their business model has shifted to a more education focus, so I can't say if they'll continue to focus as much on badass web development ide.
I would suggest checking out Codenvy (http://codenvy.com) they recently released a new On-Prem version built on Eclipse Che (http://www.eclipse.org/che). Che has made some big steps forward recently, if you haven't looked into it lately I would strongly suggest taking some time to check it out.
I like ShiftEdit (https://shiftedit.net/).
I only disliked one thing.. I couldn't install yeoman for scaffolding some apps.. I don't know why! I'll need more research...
