We've seen some hype lately around the next Eclipse release dubbed E4. The theme of E4 would be to take Eclipse online. Now it has turned from a sporadic effort to a full blown platform migration.

I think these online IDE's will be useful for simple projects. I could not however see these IDE's doing full application debugging, any native language development support or plugin models (i.e. VS Shell or Phoenix, Netbeans Modules, Eclipse based module support).

Lets face it, some languages that are interesting do not have a very good IDE available for them. What you find is people in the community that will build one on top of an existing IDE, you cant do that here.

For any advanced development features (i.e. attach / debug to a process, profiling) these IDE's will end up loading a specific runtime control on the target system. So in the end you have a half online half offline experience.
