If you just want some thing other than workspaces, there are better editors out there. Atom and Brackets are two that I like. Sublime text is popular and good but they will keep pestering you to buy it, though you can use it indefinitely.

c9.io is one of the best cloud based workspace environments. Basic (free) accounts get unlimited projects.

For online sketch editors, I recommend repl.it, codepen.io, plnkr.co, and jsfiddle.net.

Hi John, it depends on the developer and his or her needs. For me, using a cloud based IDE allows me to use a single environemnt that works on my Chromebook, Macbook, and Windows, all of which I use at different times and locations. Other advatages include, less cpu memory, preset environments for app development, and social collaboration & group chat. Have a look at https://c9.io/

Abraham, I'm so glad you mentioned about different os systems. There was a tablet/laptop crossover that I tried and I loved it, but I couldn't get any of the editors that I was used to, to download on it. I ended up bringing it back because of that. Now I can see how a cloud based editor would have resolved that for me. Thanks.
