The Monaco project form Visual Studio is exciting. We (Codenvy) have tracked nearly 50 web-based editors that have emerged in the past 2 years. A few of them have transitioned into full businesses with venture backing. Most of them have remained side projects or experiments.

With Microsoft's project related to Monaco and their VP's statement in the TechCrunch article that this style of development is where the future is vectoring towards, this is the first major platform vendor that has indicated that they see these sorts of cloud environments as not only as supplemental to core development, but potentially displacements.

Of course, there are years of engineering ahead before cloud systems can offer true displacement, but some of the early adoption scenarios are getting well defined. We attempted to capture the market size and early adoption drivers of cloud browsers in this quora post.

Is there a list of web-based editors beyond http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_JavaScript-based_... ?

This is the list that I track and follow today. Apologies for any duplicates or typos. It's just my scratch pad list.

Of course my company, Codenvy should be in the list, too.

great overview at quora.com

are you estimating the market for such (Cloud-IDE) tools being currently $465M or did I misunderstood that - interesting when now the first key (legacy) development IDE providers (MS - VS) are moving towards that approach as well.

[tyler-codenvy]

The size of the market in monetary measures depends upon how you define the market itself. If your definition are companies that provide Web-based editors or specifically IDEs with functionality specifically around edit / build / run / deploy, the market is very small today. But if you look at the broader cloud development market that includes code hosting, test, and some other functions that can sometimes be associated with IDEs, then that market is $465M and it's growing rather fast.
