Recently I did an interview with IBMs Ken Walker. Co-lead on the Eclipse Orion Project, a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE). My interest in Cloud IDEs peaked at the beginning of the year and has been steadily growing since the interview and being an active user of Cloud9 ( My current favorite Cloud IDE). During this time I realized the Cloud IDE has the ability to totally transform teams. We all know where the IDE belongs in the developers life, but what, if any, is the Cloud IDEs impact on the DevOps movement?
