Looking good and this only helps confirm that web IDE's are going to be the big thing in the next couple of years.

I've been predicting/preaching about this for 2+ years now and been building my own browser code editor in that time (http://icecoder.net).

So, CodeAnywhere gets $600k in funding, Adobe is releasing Brackets to the browser soon, GitHub is launching Atom as a web based offering.

Need much more reason to leave the desktop behind?

Re:Show HN: ICEcoder v3.0 released (browser code editor) on Saturday July 27, 2013 @01:53PM (#6113747)
Hi Hrundi. Great! Ideas, design tweaks etc all very welcome.
It comes with code completion for JavaScript, just hit CTRL+space. Will look at completion for CSS and HTML soon.
Cool to hear it almost works on Safari and an iPad. I haven't tried on that kind of setup.

Could you let me know what isn't right, may be able to fix.

It's possible as the editor portion is CodeMirror and an Emacs mode with loosely correct keybindings is available.

Will look into this and Vim setups soon.
