I can't imagine people enjoying web based IDEs. I used to work for a company that has everything made internally, including IDE -- they used the same method OP described -- using VSCode on web. The experience is horrible.
I guess maybe it was fancy back in mid 2010s, but my experience was a couple of years ago.
From the article: “ Cider was a light client that opened much faster than traditional IDEs. All the magic happened on a backend that indexes the entire codebase, so that all the data was ready whenever someone opened the webpage. ”
Sounds like all other editors were slow compared to Cider.
OK, this was probable me telling other people I have never worked in a large repo without telling other people that...
It is basically VS Code Web. Try https://vscode.dev/ to see how you feel. If you don't like it you won't like cider.

Pretty much. Also it’s not that slow and you can’t just checkout all of g3
To be fair, that is a blessing. Large monorepos are a terrible idea.
