"A web IDE is not silver bullet; it is not an ideal educational tool for every student under any circumstances. We also caution about the cost of developing custom-made web IDE systems"...

@lupyuen I'd argue that it's not an ideal tool in most cases. It takes away from the understanding of what you're actually doing. If you don't understand what's actually happening behind the scenes, you'll have a lot of problems later. Things will seem like magic, and you'll end up developing by trial-and-error.

@loke Maybe it's good only for coding newbies... Like BBC microbit and its Scatch-based web IDE (MakeCode)
