Perhaps a cloud based IDE would provide an affordable alternative.

It will make the line between debugging (say in firebug) and rewriting slicker (errors can jump to where you are in the code). Mozilla is making its plugins (jet pack) runnable bits of javascript, so its doubly useful to have a fully featured editor in the browser. For other languages it would only make sense if its realtime sharing so you can pair program remotely with easy setup. Saying that I could not do without my vim keybindings.

Considering that bespin could be integrated into a bugtracker and versioning system that it can sit close to both the developent and production systems and can be made to support concurrent editing it seems like a practical solution for a lot of problems. Of course it's not for everybody. Developing on netbooks?

The fact that you can work with someone on something in real time in the editor. The other advantages come into things like how Bespin allows you to embed the editor as a ui widget. Look at things like the Palm Ares dev platform using a nice code-like editor for it's platform. That's interesting imo.

I could see the advantage of requiring them to have nothing more than a browser to access the programming environment. Not saying I'm convinced just that it seems like a possible use case.
