Codeanywhere vs. Gitpod

If you're looking for a VS Code-like online environment with containers to spin up a dev environment or execute code and scripts it is a good fit. The environments are very customizable, and, all said and done, the price is fair. If you're looking for a remote code editor that allows you to connect via SFTP/SSH and edit the remote files, it isn't quite as seamless as it used to be. I still haven't found any all-cloud alternative, but it could be better.

• Run development containers with backend and frontend access.
• Allow for multiple users to collaborate and share containers and connections.
• Manage multiple connections to different servers.

• Since some updates a couple of years ago, using Codeanywhere as a remote code editor rather than a container-based development environment has been more cumbersome and difficult.
• The modular nature of connections and containers seems like a good idea, but they don't always work properly.
• It's difficult sometimes to share a connection or container together with a collaborator.

I've used CodeTasty, which is much more of a straight remote code editor, but their dev team is entirely unresponsive, and I became uncomfortable storing credentials with them, so I pulled everything from them and went back to Codeanywhere. VS code is similar but not fully online. While I know that they've released a fully online version, I haven't had the time or wherewith-all to make it work in the capacity I need. Codeanywhere is still the best solution I've found.

• Helped me make mission critical edits remotely and on-the-fly.
• Spent a bit of time figuring out the change in user interfaces.
