I can see a use for it as an online scratchpad that I can reference from anywhere, similar to how I use Google Docs. It will also be useful as an accompaniment to my Pluralsight training subscription as I can try out code as I watch the videos and then continue, as and when, from wherever I happen to be - home or work. I currently use Cloud 9 in this manner.
I've watched a few of the videos and it does look very slick. I have a login but haven't gotten round to exploring it yet.
I can't see a scenario for doing production work with it though, at least, not yet.

Shall we start the count down clock for when the security of someone's project gets compromised? Or the server crashes and takes all their source code and the backups were broken?

No and no. I prefer doing development that isn't relying on an Internet connection. The beach comes to mind.

I'm already using it since the very first beta, it is great and it does remove all the problems associated with maintaining a server, backup, hardware failure, upgrades, electricity usage, rack space... all this is gone!
Out of the box you get free build servers (up to 60mins per month), you get free process templates (the Agile template is great!), discussion rooms, etc... downloading source code to your local workspace is actually quite fast (well if your broadband is decent) I never had any issue with having to wait.
I can understand that some people who are either are very worried about security, or request extremely fast data access, or have niche build requirements will still want to have their own server. But otherwise it does not make sense to keep using old fashion servers.
I'm a convert, I love it. I can't imagine going back to good old TFS and connecting to my office remotely using a cranky old VPN...
No way to make me go back.

Our company is definitively NOT planning to use it.
My boss and I share the opinion that EVERY network is inherently unreliable.

I think it's big enough to get all 10 million of us a piece of it.
Happy Birthday! Code Project.

You get a slice, but the size of it is proportional to the size of your reputation.

Don't be greedy!
"We" have given you "this much" higher reputation points and now you need a bigger slice of cake?!?!?! Where is that down-vote button?

Hey! I don't make the rules!
Anyway, I'll send my slice on to the Philippines - they need it more than I do...

I can't control that - and I suspect they have eaten most of it already, StatementTerminator was right...

Two coworkers are talking by the water cooler. One guy says, "Today I got through the first step of getting divorced." The second guy replies, "Oh, did you go to Mr. Guggenheim? Everyone goes to him for divorces." The first man replies, "No, I just got married."

Quote: at work on his wedding day That's probably why he is expecting to get divorced.

That's the second step.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

She got to be a good housekeeper to do that.
