How many developers of startups do you know who actually use a browser based IDE ?

There are a couple and they only suck a bit, but they don't compare to the desktop ones.

I don't use a browser based text editor when I want to make a quick note. Actually a couple of my friends do with google docs - but not too many.

For the apps I use everyday, the browser sucks. It's not just latency, although this is a big contributor to why web apps feel sucky and clunky, but the browser just isn't a very good platform for rich applciations.

The google integration between their applications is very good, and getting better, but it isn't enough to make me forget that the interface sucks...
