Ah man that burst the illusion - tried again with a small variation on the defaults and it tried but wasn't nearly as convincing.

It was still able to realize that publish(X) should cause a log with timestamps and X on each line, and correctly show the topics that should exist, but changing the rate doesn't work _quite_ right in the timestamps, and it started to skip some steps (e.g. automatically showing rostopic echo). I wonder if it knows about launch files...

If you stick to the basic tutorial it's indistinguishable from running it locally, in my opinion.
