**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
When I do amplify init, it asks what IDE I use. There are all the options listed except Cloud9 IDE. I love Cloud9 IDE from AWS and I think it's a game-changer for Chromebook users. However, it's such a bummer that one AWS product does not support another AWS product. I can understand the other powerful IDEs and the need to support them. But I think at least Cloud 9 needs to be an option. Also IMHO, AppSync / Amplify needs to be more tightly integrated with Cloud9. Things like mock should work out of the box. Currently, I need to find the public IP of the VM and then go to the mock server using that public IP. It would be fantastic if these worked out of the box.

I recently had a trouble with the latest amplify version not compatible with Java version that comes pre-installed on Amazon Linux that is the default choice for Cloud9 IDE. If the amplify / AppSync development team was working on Cloud9 IDE, they would have caught this issue earlier during the dev and me as a customer would not have lost a week of dev time in undifferentiated heavy lifting.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
A clear and concise description - Please drink your own champagne and support Cloud 9 IDE.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Other IDEs are not easy options as I have Chromebook and don't want to go to other expensive options.
