Adafruit's WebIDE on latest Raspbian

trying out Adafruit's web ide

initial notes, quick in no particular order...

1) for me did not install via script;
there were some failed dependencies;
(my network may not be the fastest, so likely some time outs)

so the system was not installed.  reran the install script a few times, and it failed at different points.

finally just ran the partially installed startup script as if I had installed manually from git and noted which packages failed to load/install, and installed them manually via sudo npm .

2) version I installed is hardcoded for user pi;  initially tried with a different userid, and system scripts were coded for pi;
-could fix this, but for initial tests, have switched over to pi user.

3) success;
first project running "hello world" and loops!  Very cool.

4) npm is new for me:
lots of "magic" of nodejs ... I'm new to npm and node.js .  IDE does not use python, to teach python?  I was expecting something like idle (icon is on raspbian default desktop)

5) may try c for next set of tests.

6) interesting, IDE is setup for bitbucket, not github?
(I see the ide itself on github)
-could fix this in the code, but leaving with defaults for now.
(I have a github account, created a new account for bitbucket)
