tl;dr of 10 minutes video:

- All code uploaded to their orion servers

- Import of .zip files

- git commit and diff functionality

- Try your code with by running webserver username.orion.eclipse.org

- Syntax highlighting (at least for js)

- Use of JSLint for syntax navigation and error notification

- Keyboard bindings as you know them from desktop applications

- Handles huge files without any noticable delay (40000 lines+)

Oh and as I understood it, it is a beta and some functionality are not fully implemented, like the .git support.

Personally I believe some things are better of being a desktop application - and do not like the trend with _everything_ on the web, but the project itself is a cool idea and great implementation.

Pretty much this. Yes, this is interesting, and I'm sure it will garnish a nice user base. But I won't be one of them. There's nothing shown that makes me want to deviate from Vim + plugins to this.


Thanks for the summary.

> - All code uploaded to their orion servers

Wow, this just isn't for me or almost any code I've worked on.

I'd like to know for whom this would be comfortable other than using pure-OSS projects.


You can setup your own Orion server, if privacy is your concern: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/How_Tos/Install_Orion_on_Local...
