I started using Cloud9 a few weeks ago, and my productivity running an interactive visualization app has gone way up. Cloud9 has the best autocomplete ever, and it 'just works' after you do a little environment setup in your included ubuntu instance. Any concerns I had were not a problem, like every day or two the cloud9 window crashes, but when it reopens the cursor is in the exact same place and all state is maintained. I don't even get that locally across reboots!
If this service doesn't keep running I will chain myself naked to the front doors of amazon's offices and won't let anyone in until they agree to bring back cloud9. It would seem to have big potential with the rest of amazon's services.
My stack (if you're curious): JRuby / Sinatra, d3.js. Keeps it lean.
Oh, my one gripe! I keep the IDE window full size, so whenever I switch applications and tab back to Chrome... my full sized window is gone. I have to select window -> my tab, and this SUCKS. IT SUCKS. I wish this were wrapped in a little 'chrome as an app' application.
