My team is currently looking into hosting for RoR apps, and we're considering RailsPlayground, Linode and SliceHost.

We haven't found anyone recommending rails playground, and web of trust seems to caution against it - http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/railsplayground.com

I like the fact that they give you a sourcerepo account for free to host and track git repos, etc.

The Questions:

Is there any reason not to go with RailsPlayground?
Have you had any negative experiences with RailsPlayground? (Feel free to share positives as well)

Thanks!
