You should check out the zed editor. Its something you can run locally (stand-alone or chrome app) and has a remote code component.

I've used these cloud IDEs, but haven't like any of the text editors they supply. Zed is amazing compliment to these services.

Big fan of Zef's work though I haven't tried Zed yet. Another really cool tool is TEdit by Tim Caswell.

But before I toot their horns too loud, they are sort of competitors of mine as the creator of Plunker. Anyway, the more the merrier as long as well all get along and move the experience forward!

Funny thing that both Zef and Tim are former Cloud9 employees. They largely build upon the same stack with VFS[0] and Ace.

Neither of us use VFS, but indeed we do use Ace -- it's awesome.

Yep, Zed is very nice, And it uses Ace editor component developed by Cloud9.
