Feasible convenience
I can go to work and develop my personal site during my break times. Or be anywhere in the world and access to a computer, then i can edit my site. With the built in ssh console this is just so useful.
PROSI 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
CONSSometimes 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.

I use codeanywhere to collaborate and push out small websites with distributed teams. I also teach our bootcampers how to use CA. Final projects are built and deployed using CA.
PROSIDE, git support, custom stacks and ability to provide licenses to our students
CONSlack of Python/Django support, switch from previous IDE to the new environment had a few pain points

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.
PROSIt 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).
CONSThe 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.
PROSI 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.
CONSFor 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.
Reason 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.

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