Cloud9 is your development environment, in the cloud! Workspaces are powered by Docker Ubuntu containers that give you full freedom over your environment, including sudo rights. Do a git push, compile SASS, see server output, and Run apps easily with the built-in Terminal and Runners.
Rather than set up a local environment with tools, dependencies, etc - you can create a cloud environment with its own built-in IDE and everything you need for your workflow. And since it's in the cloud, you can set up an environment and access it from just about any computer or device (even mobile devices).
Cloud9 can be used in conjunction with most hosting providers (including Pantheon) and is great for teaching classes. Any environment can be cloned or shared with other collaborators or students. Have you ever wanted to collaborate on code at the same time (Google Docs-style)? You've got it.
