cloud9 is a web-dev environment:

- project linux environment
- can choose to have the vi mode when editiong the code
- a linux terminal 
    - run any command (i.e. make, git etc)
    - can compile and run the code in terminal
- integrated into gitub
    - clone directly from gihub project

This vim mode works well in safari browser, but not so well in chrome. UPDATE1: C-c works allows vim in chrome to quit insert mode. UPDATE2: The problem turns out to be with vimium extension. Disable it by excluding the following url: http*://.c9.io/
