Oh cloud9 I really like this idea, lets see if it's improved since last time I looked -> click
I can sign in via Bitbucket cool I'll do that.
Okay that was dumb of me, my Bitbucket repositories are all private so I can't use cloud9 for this. I'll import my github projects instead.
Dang, Github is already registered to another account and I can't change it.
No problem, I'll de-active Bitbucket and delete this account, then sign in with the old account I created.
Doh, I can't remember my password, I'll reset it. Weird a new password is sent back to me in plain text? That doesn't fill me with confidence.
I'm in, the dashboard says I've only got one project in my Github repository, that's odd? Never mind, one project will do for testing.
Open project, click index.php, hmmm no syntax highlighting.
Never mind I'll just click on view then syntax and choose PHP. Nope that didn't work, not sure why, okay maybe it's because it's a PHP project and this is a Javascript IDE. I'll have a little play around and see what else is new.
Zend mode that seems interesting I'll click that. Ahh okay, that looks pretty. Right, now where have all my options gone, bugger. How do I exit out of zend mode? I can't remember the keyboard short cut and there's no hint. Okay never mind I'll just exit the IDE and login again.
Right back to the dashboard. Oh sweet, looks like my other Github projects have appeared. I'll try a Javascript based project.
Okay so start editing -> click on Javascript file -> no syntax highlighting -> click syntax button -> choose javascript, no syntax highlighting sigh... Maybe code completion will work, at least that's fun to try. I type "this.". No code completion, right well that's enough play time quit.
I don't doubt that all this stuff works, but for me in the 5 / 10 minutes I played around with this I've not managed to get the IDE to function how I expect it to. And it's the same thing every time. I really hope this post is taken positively as constructive feedback because I can see great potential for the product. I'd love some kind of automatic ajaxy getting started tour once I've logged in.
