I use cloud9, which has ace as the base platform as well. It completely replaced Aptana (Eclipse based fork) for me. I use it exclusively for development and it works quite well.

I don't have time to blog, unfortunately. The reason was simple, I wanted a development stack that includes as little natively installed software as possible.

In the end, I can develop on any machine that has a modern browser installed.
