I was just playing with Coder's VS Code fork (what this solution uses for VS Code) the other day [1] I want to love it. It makes a very specific use case I use much nicer. I can leave code on a remote server with all the compute power I need to build and run my project, and edit the file I'm working on with VS code's editor without having to sync files around. It does, however, have a few big caveats that killed it for me. It doesn't block any of the browser things that would leave the webpage. Notably, if you hit Ctrl-W to close a file tab because of muscle memory, you'll close the browser tab. Also, if you hit back on accident like I apparently do all the time, you'll go back to the blank tab page. In both of these cases, you'll lose any unsaved state. Also, the extension repo it's pointing at isn't MS's live repo. There are apparently reasons for this, but it means you don't get the latest version of extensions, which was annoying for a specific extension I've gotten used to. I also had issues with VS Code getting confused about state when my connection to the remote box was less than ideal. All in all, I really wanted to like it, but for truly remote cases, I'm back to using Mosh to interact with the remote box, and a simple tool I wrote ages ago to handle rsyncing the local files to the remote box to build and run them there.
