> What is the use case for a hosted Visual Studio Code?

The same as Amazon cloud9, and other online IDE, it's about not having to install any SDK on your own computer to develop apps, which is really handy in the era of cheap SSD laptops and mobility.

I have used cloud9 for years, unfortunately the editor itself hasn't had a real update for a long time. So VS online is a welcome addition.

Congrats to the VSO team at Microsoft.

Yeah amazon basically froze cloud9 development last time i checked, i don't care enough to shift to whatever amazon has done to the thing...
