> I have trouble figuring out why I would want to edit just a few files via a web browser

Because it's REALLY awesome, if you're having problem making something work in a browser, to be able to copy just the relevant conditions that break into an editor like this that you can share with the world. I wondered for a long time why people used gists, or sites like jsfiddle, but the first time I saw somebody post broken code to a fiddle (via StackOverflow), then saw somebody else fork it, make corrections, and post the corrected fiddle back, I immediately realized that whomever had thought of it first was a much wiser man than myself.
