Arduino IDE: app vs cloud

[ahdavidson7]

Greetings.

I've been teaching Arduino at the university level for many years.

I have always used the downloaded IDE in my classes. I looked at the cloud editor a few years ago and felt that there were enough hassles or things not working smoothly (libraries, etc.), that I didn't want to shift to that platform.

I'm wondering what experience people have these days? Would you recommend building a course around the cloud IDE?

Before I go to the trouble of converting all of my teaching resources (slides, examples, tutorials, etc.) over, I wonder what advice anyone here might have to offer.

Thanks,
.Andy

Adafruit does not have any guides that make use the Arduino IDE cloud. All the Arduino projects are based on the app. All code is manually managed and synced through github for collaboration.
