How is that superior to having a nice desktop that you can shell/nx into?

IMO - because it is hosted on the net and you can send the link to others.

I was just about to set up an EC2 micro with node and mongo this weekend.

I also get the opportunity to build a server, deploy in an environment that I can scale in "one day"

I think there are a lot of valuable skills to be gained by doing this for free and for fun right now, so that I can do it for a startup later on.

If I don't know how to build an EC2 system, I can't be confident in my ability to sell that skill later on.

OTTOMH: create different configurations that you only need for one project, experiment with cutting edge software, increase CPU, memory and disk on the fly ...

For a development environment? What?

Especially with node.js that simply doesn't make sense.

If you're running it with users on it which would actually need CPU, memory or disk, duh I would run it on EC2.
