Can someone please develop an awesome web-based IDE, so that we, developers, are not left out of the Chrome OS goodness? You can include seamless integration with github, or dropbox, for "cloud" storage. And of course, I'm assuming HTML5 will allow you to work offline.

Has anyone used Bespin and/or any existing web-based IDEs? Googling didn't return anything compelling.

Our HTML prototyping tool Quplo (http://quplo.com) is a web-based IDE for designers and developers. It doesn't have github, dropbox, or server-side coding (offline support is on the way). It's purely meant for developing prototypes. But it's a start. We'd love to see more products in this arena and we'll definitely be making sure we're in the Web Store ASAP.

For writing apps completely in JavaScript (both client-side and server-side) there's http://www.erbix.com/ which provides hosting, online IDE and a marketplace for JS apps. It doesn't have yet source version control integration but you can upload or download directories as .tar.gz or .zip archives. (Disclaimer: I'm affiliated with the project)

I'd love a web based editor that uses Dropbox (or your cloud based storage) for storage. I use Elements editor on the iPhone but for when I just have a browser...

(Similarly I'd feel a lot more comfortable with Google Applications if I could tell it to store my documents on my storage, or at least seamlessly mirror to my storage)

@primgenus, @vladd. good luck to you and your teams!
