Thanks for taking the time to give us feedback! There were several problems in the way the App Manager was doing things. WebIDE got rid of many of the design issues App Manager had, and that should allow WebIDE to become a much more stable, intuitive and future-proof tool that won't be replaced any time soon. The App Manager's many shortcomings really made us feel a change was necessary.
Most of App Manager's use cases should be supported by WebIDE (a notable exception being the simultaneous debugging of multiple apps) and we've added several new features like starting projects from app templates. More information will be available in Ryan's blog post later today. Sorry about the confusion this is causing. Initial feedback has been quite welcoming so far, but if there is anything you feel is wrong or missing in WebIDE, please feel free to complain / file bugs about it.
