I could see browser-based IDE's being the norm in 10 years or so. We're just not there yet.
Looking at the screenshots here (

So far you guys are confirming my doubts as to real-world IBMi programming use-cases.
I watched an IBM video on it and their use case was: dude at the airport needs to make and commit a quick change so someone else can then check it out and build-it. I'm paraphrasing that but the general use-case felt a little fuzzy for real-world.
Better option: Fire up my super-fast ultrabook and make a quick change or call someone at the office. Tell them: Do this and that and the fix is done.
UI looks a lot like VS Code/Atom though so they get an "A" for porting effort.
