I've used it a couple of times now not to develop, but to incorporate review discussions and minor other fixes. But from my perspective the true value is for non developers, or when you're starting with Git. No need to worry about remotes and what you did or didn't sync. Or if the branch is even there and you need to set the upstream. Concepts one need to get now are branches and commits. No cloning, fetching, pulling or pushing. When starting, branches and commits are hard enough.

Than, when the new user is comfortable they can work their way up.

Yep, it is also really nice to contribute to a repo that you didn't work on before and probably won't work on after. No need to wait for a clone anymore. Our mission is everyone can contribute and we hope this will make that even easier.

I agree that as an industry we should spend more time on impactful things. That is why we based our IDE on the awesome Monaco editor of Vs code that was open sourced by Microsoft.
