The two points that Ken makes that really stick with me are how APIs/IaaS/PaaS tools are growing exponentially, and thus the ability to work with and manage them is getting harder. Cloud IDEs create an opportunity to simplify and embrace these new technologies faster. They also help with polluted dev environments that cause havoc when testing and debugging code by taking that element and all those unwanted variables out of the picture – something I personally run into all too many times.
