Ask HN: Remote IDE?

I recently got a Chromebook as my daily driver and was curious about remote IDEs that are available. So far, all I've really found is c9.io. I'm also willing to supplement functionality with a cheap ec2 instance.

If you're willing to put your Chromebook in dev-mode, it doesn't necessairily have to be a remote IDE. You could also use a Linux distro from within a chroot [1][2].
