localhost - Are the trends leaning towards developing in the cloud or local? -

would trend of developers leverage cloud development environments rather local desktop environments?

learning cloud 9 , other similar cloud dev platforms, seems there major benefits on local development.

team collaborative efficiency, speed deployment, , streamlined workflows name few. have little experience in cloud dev realm , love hear pulse on trend!

my professional work on last decade has been exclusively more "cloud" development in sense use vms on beefy server development work. tried cloud 9 , it's not quite same experience, it's getting there.

reasons expect, such streamlined workflow. less time setting dev systems new employees when can stand vm. firewall rules on remote systems easier manage, etc.
