Great article! I didn't know that VS Code had a browser editor until now. Very cool.

Brilliant! I'm positive it is more than a viable option for:
1) people with not enough hardware (like me! 🤣)
2) coders that want to share or edit quickly 👨💻
3) playground 🤹
As for full projects, probably there is a long way to go, but indeed it's worth considering.

Def a huge base of people that can benefit. Someone in the Astro community is using this as they use a Chromebook.

A useful tool but I doubt they will completely replace local editors, in the same way that VS Code does not replace VS or VS itself didn't replace EMACS.
What do you do if the Internet goes down, say because someone cut the cable? With a local editor I can keep working even if I have no Internet, with a web based editor...

They have different use cases indeed Dave. I'm sure they'll sort out a local git repo at one point so you could keep working on it.
But for now, nice to see this coming up. I've used it for quick code shares, and PR reviews while i'm still working on another branch.
