A solid cloud IDE

No major complaints aside from the stacks provided when starting a new project are a bit outdated. Not really a show stopper as I can always update this on the cam itself or bring my own stack

Ease of use and good pricing are things I enjoy from Cloud IDES, CodeAnywhere is well priced and just works.

Decent, but not worth the cost

Codeanywhere has made it convenient for me to work on projects when I am away from my main machine, particularly when I am using a device that isn't capable of running developer software. I used it until they changed their pricing model to charge all users, since I can't justify paying per-month for an online editor, especially since I don't use the container functionality that much.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

It is decent as an editor and allows for connections to different remote sources, as well as its own built-in development container system. It works fairly well in different browsers (although some keybinds might interfere).

Cons:

The interface isn't particularly great, and it seems unreasonable for them to charge to access remote servers (at least for a student). The built-in preview panel also can be clunky, and sometimes the container system can be temperamental with regards to proxying a running dev server.

Big improvements in recent updates

I like having an "always on" container so that I can show my work to someone. plus codeanywhere is handy for spinning up and destroying sites that I only need for a short time.

Functionality

Pros:

I like that it's very simple to set up a WordPress site. I'm a WordPress plugin developer, I don't want to be a linux system admin.

Cons:

For the longest time, I could not COPY and PASTE in the terminal when using Firefox. This was infuriating, but does seem to be resolved with their recent updates. While support is generally pretty helpful, I have had instances of waiting several weeks for a response too.

Reasons for choosing Codeanywhere

I still use Local a lot. However, local runs pretty slowly on Windows and the number of times I need to code but am not connected to the internet is pretty low. If the git GUI supported staging lines/chunks I would probably ditch Local entirely

Reasons for switching to Codeanywhere

when cloud 9 was bought out by amazon it became completely unusable. It became a complex task to create a new WordPress container/site.

Pros:

I stopped development for nearly a year but i kept my subscription because the price is so reasonable i felt it holds value to keep it. I started development again and this service is fantastic for what i need

Cons:

Sometimes the auto text is annoying but i should find the setting to turn it off. Also tbe auto indentation doesnt seem to work well when i have a custom 2 line indent. But these things are not seriois issues since the other features are just so good.

Has some good and not so good features.

I am building mainly Wordpress websites at the moment, and I like to use codeanywhere to test updates on sites, so the containers must be able to be easily restarted after not being used for a while.

Pros:

I like that clients can view my websites as I build them. Very easy set up of wordpress containers.

Cons:

Doesn't allow the upload of large files, over 6gb. Containers all too frequently fail to load.

Reasons for switching to Codeanywhere

Amazon took over Cloud 9 and made it impossible to use, no matter how I tried could not load wordpress. Amazon also had a very hard to understand pricing model.

I purchased the service to be able to update and manage my website's code from anywhere and from any computer. The service works as promised and it's awesome that I can hop onto any computer, login, and make the changes I needed to my website.

The level of documentation for setting up some connections is very poor. And when I reached out for a question on setting up and FTP connection, I never heard back from the support team. Eventually I figured it out on my own.
