That's certainly the way corporate development environments are
heading with projects like Eclipse Che (the tech behind codenvy.com),
and AWS Cloud9.

This post from Zapier engineering covers those two, as well as one I
hadn't heard of before, CodeAnywhere:
https://zapier.com/engineering/best-cloud-ides/

The main challenge with covering an approach like that in the dev
guide is that none of the current core developers work that way, so
we'd have a hard time providing good support to any newcomers that
decided to take it up.

Cheers,
Nick.
