I agree. I did cs50 and also rails tutorial when I learnt to code. At the time rails tutorial used a normal text editor but it seems learning to set up a proper dev env was too much for many and now it uses some cloud ide. This is a step backwards. Setting up your system correctly is a critical pro skill. It's the first thing I learn when diving into a new language.
