Wow...I'm impressed. I just spent a few minutes setting up an account and I was blown away by your execution on the editor alone. I haven't even tried using the other features yet. The screenshots made it look very similar to SublimeText2 and I wondered how smooth it would be. Vim mode, zen mode, even the find options were very similar. I was able to do everything I expected to do, even down to getting the theme just right.

It's the first time I thought I could use a web-based editor. That's a big deal. Well done!

Thanks for the kind words! We try really hard to make the concept of an online IDE move beyond just editing and saving files in a browser.

Best of all, unlike ST2, we're open source: https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9
