Orion is a tool built on the web for the web.
Orion runs in your browser using JavaScript and is embedded in the page. You can download it and run it on your localhost, build it into your own applications, and you can even build a website inside of Orion.
The day we do all of our daily computing tasks straight from our browser is getting closer and closer!
Take a look at Orion:

The Orion project has just begun and looks very promising.
If you give it a spin, let us know what you think of it!
You can sign-up for OrionHub, download it, get started, embed Orion into your application, and get all the documentation from the Orion website.

Looks pretty similar in functionality to Cloud9 (http://cloud9ide.com/). Cloud9 has nearly all those features (including GitHub integration) also has Node.js integration and coming offline support (http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/05/working-offline-with-cloud9-on-google.html).
Full disclosure: I don’t work for them, but I’ve been a fan of their editor since it was Mozilla’s Bespin project. I’ve made a small code contribution; perhaps more in the future.
