I share your appreciation of performance and reliability.
Computation heavy task like compiling, code-analysis, and search indexing have to be done with a compiled language.
But that's nothing speaking against cloud IDEs.
Moving this computation to the cloud can even be an advantage because you can share dependencies and build artefacts between contributors and just work stronger computers in general.
For the frontend however, an IDE is just a fancy text editor.
I don't see why that particular part couldn't run in the browser.
The major web IDEs (VScode, Atom, WebStorm) are doing that already, running on either Node or Java VMs.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
