Wha...? This is a killer feature. I'll put up with a lot of crap to use it. That doesn't mean I wouldn't switch to something nicer in other ways if it also offered this killer feature.

It's hard for me to understand why there are IDEs under active development not trying to offer this feature. It is so much better an experience to have the network split into the proper place: between the UI and the heavy computation. Having the UI too far away undoes whatever responsiveness work has been done and more. Having the heavy computation too near means it's hard to develop and test the far environment, take advantage of its compute, etc.
