Seeing as how this is facebook's hacked up editor I'd love to see some more social features to share with other developers. Get advice, show something cool, share a branch, etc. with teammates or even the world.

I'm sure it is nice to have an editor that understands javascript better and it is nice to see that yes they have syntax checking and auto suggestion. Experience tells me the devil is in the details of the architecture for how much their integration will survive tool churn vs composition model of different tools.

What I'd really like to see in my next editor that seems hard to find is:

- Ability to easily share code and screen with other developers. I know the lone gun is typical in software development but it would be great to work with other people seamlessly as well.

- Working with files/shell on a remote server. All to often these days I find myself with large data set that is hard to move so I end up using console tools to debug the problem on the box.




I haven't used it, but https://floobits.com might scratch some of that itch?


Not nirvana, but not hell either — if you use vagrant — vagrant share + tmux + vim/emacs works well for remote pairing.
