This does not look fancy. Microsoft uses VSCode for their online Editor in Azure and VSS: - https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Visual-Studio-Online-Monaco
Or to say it differently, at least the Editor part is working directly inside the browser: - https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor
(P.S.: I'm not related to Microsoft, I just tumbled upon while trying to work with App Services on Azure)
It raises queries about what you do after the editor is running though (i.e. where does your terminal live? What about your interpreters/compilers?).
It quickly gets to the point of looking at SSH to another box like Cloud9 does it, at which point you may as well just run Code there and remote to it.
Being able to run the UI locally and using ssh to load/save edits to files seems like a better way to deal with latency.
