I (barely) evaluated some cloud IDEs few weeks back and I felt Cloud9 and Nitrous.IO were far superior to Codio or other IDEs. So, I'm wondering, what makes you say Codio is the most powerful? In any case, I still don't see enough value in cloud based IDEs to give up the speed that I get from developing locally.

I don't know if this is cultural, but I don't understand this kind of marketing. It's like those signs in some restaurants, e.g. "the best cappuccino in town" or "the world's best burger"...

It makes me instantly skeptical :)

When I looked at various options to support a Real World OCaml IDE recently, I picked Codio because it didn't require any write access to my GitHub account. Cloud9 wanted access to all my repositories, including the private ones, just to sign in.

Never tried any of them. Could you please explain how Cloud9 and Nitrous.IO were superior? For the speed concerns, doesn't your browser being a thin client with a cache solve those problems?

Here is one reason Nitrous.IO is superior. I could actually run the php file that was created automatically on the box. I cannot do the same on codio.

Another reason is that Nitrous.IO has a desktop client that uses unison to keep files in sync. This means I develop locally using my favourite IDE and I get to preview it instantly on my nitrous.io box, I say instantly but I'm sure there is some latency, but I'm lucky enough to have an internet connection where CTRL-S, ALT-TAB, CTRL-F5 results in my newest code being ready without having to wait.

Sorry but I was hopeful that Codio could live up to it's claim, but the fact I can't even run their default PHP file is pretty sad.
