Why is everyone in this thread so into the concept of remote development, especially when it comes to the likes of Microsoft and Facebook leading the charge? Both companies harvest massive amounts of data about their users and have a proven track record of privacy violations.

What happens if this becomes the norm and IDEs are only in the cloud? Do these corporations decide who gets to code on their platforms and gain the ability to peep into the technical secrets of every competitor?

I will never support this.
