It's very handy for following along with the videos. But it also provides a server facility so you can connect to it with a browser and see the results of your work.
If you want a more thorough introduction, there's a separate workshop on Using Treehouse Workspaces.

The "launch workspace" utility opens a self contained coding area where students can follow along with and complete the example code set out in the lessons. A student's work can be saved and even downloaded to their local computer.
