As an Emacs user since the Nineties and holder of the view that Emacs _is_ my operating system, I simply can't relate to this on any level.

Now, I won't discriminate against the segment of the industry moving in this direction, but ask yourselves this question: Where is my personal power over my environment, over my code, and do I have the freedom to modify my work and the hardware I do it upon as I see fit? The model proposed and the assertion of the inevitable disappearance of the IDE and personal workspace is done with no consideration of those questions, or the psychology and methodologies of the experienced software engineer.

Of course, the points relating to security and environment stability are problems we all face, but they are also problems that have simple solutions within the existing software development ecosystem. And, I must say, if human verification and "fit for use" validation is not part of this process, then the flaws go beyond psychology and the freedom to tinker.
