It’s great to be able to bang out some code on a tablet or a Chromebook without Linux access.

Being able to resume from anywhere without thinking twice and having to checkpoint the code is also great. Off-loading compilation and editing to the cloud is the future of programming and already done at scale at large companies like google.

So our computers are getting more powerful every day for nothing but Electron?

My laptop definitely doesn’t have server grade hardware in it and the battery grinds to a halt when compiling larger projects.
