'Why do so many FE web devs prefer local IDEs?
From a frontend web dev only perspective, what are the real problems of using a cloud IDE?
Many of them offer version control, team collaboration, shortcut extensions/autocompletes, git integration, most common languages etc. The only problems I can really think of are pricing (since the free instances don't offer some of the conveniences) and internet issues. I'm not a developer by trade so there must be things I'm not thinking of, but that's why I'm here.
When I do a search on this, I only find old (5+ years ago) answers to why local IDEs are preferred across quora, reddit, etc. with the main reasons being that you can develop without an internet connection (though you'll need one eventually anyway right?) and more customizations.
I couldn't find something here at stack so am asking the question.
