I love the idea of a remote IDE, especially when i'm compiling heavy apps in xCode/Android Studio but i have to agree.

We are losing control and open ourselves to the mercy of whatever company.

Google is a great example. Many businesses rely on their services but if some robot bans you then you are majorly screwed.

IMO there's no stopping this trend. However, there's a solution and that is having more choices and competition.
