I love that it's easy to implement an editor in the browser these days. It means that if you have an innovative IDE concept, you can push out a prototype in a day and not have to worry about all the yak-shaving that goes into making a basic editor.

I'm actually hoping for a transition to a situation where your favorite web framework, will come with its own web-based IDE.

Esspecially at the web-development side of things, IDE integration isn't optimal. It's not so much that the languages themselves need better integration; it's the frameworks, and the abstractions and tooling they bring.

When it gets this easy to create a web-based IDE, why even bother trying to develop a one-size-fits-all super IDE? Why not just have a simple IDE that targets one particular framework and its (likely opiniated) workflow? I mean, right now, most of that stuff, targets the command line as their primary UI.
