I wish I could understand the value add of yet another IDE. The whole reason for tech to exist is to improve things around the world, and yet brilliant minds are still spending years building one IDE after another.

"Switching branch and remembering branch names..." is a simple git status. On vim, you can get a file browser on the left by using nerdtree plugin, and to write commit messages on the right side you simply just have another tmux window open for git or other unix commands. Building a new IDE is solving a very marginal problem that could potentially create new problems. Why not spend the same amount of time creating educational videos instead on how to use existing tooling that is already readily available?

Other than this rant, I really like gitlab product (we self host at our coding camp) and deploy tokens is a pretty big value add for us for our CI flow.

Edit: Here's a good usecase for the webIDE:

If you see a typo in a comment, for example, you click the pencil icon on that line, which pops open an editor with your cursor on that line, fix the typo, and can create and submit for review a pull request right there. Less than a minute. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16212234
