It implements basic VT100 terminal features (up/down/left/right/etc) - enough for you to write code using the Espruino. You can also use the right-hand pane to write JavaScript code on the PC, and can then click the 'transfer' icon to send that code directly down the Serial Port.

I think the Espruino IDE is fantastic! However I think a full supported desktop version is needed.
I started this in an airport and I will probably "finish" this in an airport, one of the issues is having the variety of hardware flashed with espruino to hand I currently only have a node mcu and redbear duo flashed!
