Personally don’t see much use for these cloud IDEs as I already run Linux and have a decent desktop machine. One use case I could see is enabling folks without Apple hardware to do iOS/Mac development but none of them seem to have Mac hosts. I’m aware that Apple places certain restrictions on Mac VMs, so maybe it’s not possible. Feels like a gap in the market if it is though.
P.S. I’m aware of Mac Stadium, EC2 Macs etc. no need to point them out.
@wezm I’ve been using VSCode’s ssh support quite a bit lately, but that’s because I have an M1 Pro and I needed to hack on an x86-64 based RTOS that required VT-x. Rosetta just couldn’t cut it.
