We use Cloud9 here quite a lot, with great results. I was going to ask what was the differentiator between this and Cloud9, but judging from your post, I am assuming it is a 'cut down' version of C9 with a lot of the bells and whistles removed?
So I assume that it spins up a micro EC2 instance each time someone wants to use CS50?

In a way, yes. The CS50 IDE mainly targets students or teachers who are taking or teaching CS50 (https://cs50.harvard.edu/) or similar introductory courses. The UI is simplified in a try to be more accessible to users with little or no prior CS or programming experience. It also comes preloaded with a bunch of tools and libraries that are used in these courses so that users don't have to deal with the hassle of installing and configuring them and instead focus more on the course actually tries to teach.
