I really dig the concept. Having seen the downsides of vagrant on a few projects, I'm definitely interested in the feasability of cloud-hosted dev environments. Virtualization on top of cloud servers could make this cheaper than running your own, and if you got clever you could probably setup shared services for SOA heavy architectures.

I just recently started using Vagrant. What downsides have you seen? Any show-stoppers?

It would be very interesting to see some sort of provisioning system built into Nitrous, much like using saltstack/chef/puppet with Vagrant.

I'm also curious about the downsides of using Vagrant.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you have full access to the command line you can probably get your recipes working there. If this works, I understand it's not as easy as provisioning with Vagrant but it's a workaround for now.
