I love reading rants like this one about how & why entire developer environments are moving off of the desktop and into the cloud. As an old fart, I remember when we had telephone switches, answering machines, and call routing devices in our homes and offices, and how they moved quickly up to the "central." I also remember X-Terminal hardware, where all environments, not just developer systems were in the cloud, somewhat akin to Chromebooks today. Personally, I have always been comfortable developing on remote systems because I always used command line terminals that accessed remote systems and rarely ran local dev until IDEs conquered most of my terminal use for coding.
