1) There are a few comments the question the appeal of web based IDEs. My view is that this because IDEs are generally quite refined pieces of software: the people who use them are also authors, etc. It's hard for a new IDE of any type to compete with that at the start.
HOWEVER, Web-based IDEs have some very attractive features. The ability to always have it available and customised to how you want it, with state shared across multiple computers is very attractive. Remote compilation and dependency/library management is much nicer than local, especially with the integration automatic versioning. Shared, multiuser coding spaces are also much more natural.
2) Regarding this IDE: I'd love a good Go IDE. The thing that stopped me diving deeply into Go last time I tried it was that I missed refactoring support. At least it seems to have autocomplete.
