I spent some time with Cloud9 and although it was generally usable, it was just unresponsive enough as to be annoying. Also, I prefer a standalone machine so if I don't have any wifi access, I can still work. Recent plane trips come to mind as an example.

Google's is on the other side of the state, near Council Bluffs. Microsoft's is in the central part of the state in West Des Moines. Neither is close to the Mississippi, however, either could be close enough to a river to be affected when we get the next 1000 year flood.
