You would be able to save your maps in cloud and work with friends at the same time (live editing).
Furthermore you would have more editing tools like cutting some areas and putting them in other places, just like in Paint.

I would use for that project nodejs and canvas or even pure css to display tiles etc. And even multiplayer map making would be possible, there is socket.io for nodejs.
btw here is example of usage in my small project

But it'd only require a working load/save to map function.
I'm not sure if multi-user editing is such an important feature tough. I highly doubt that something like this is used a lot in practice. And if it's used it's probably mostly for fun and not for creating quality maps.
I also considered to improve the map preview for the file archive with JavaScript / HTML5 so you can see the actual map with images in the browser. That would be pretty cool and implementing this would actually be half of the work required for a working web map editor.
It's just an idea though and it's unlikely that I'm actually doing it.

VADemon: Fun idea. Saving a map should be possible with Lua. It shouldn't be that hard because CS2D's map format is quite simple.But yeah... entities wouldn't really work + they have many settings so a fancy UI would be required to configure them.
Gaios: Why not tho? I mean, me and many other players would like to see something formiliar rather than something where one has to search couple of minutes something, for example some entity to place. True one could learn this new editor, but cmon, we are all formilliar where stuff is in already existing ingame editor. I hope you get my point. 1
