What is missing from vscode for remote development? MS released their remote development extensions earlier this year, and everything from browsing to searching feels native.

Yeah, same rxn. I tried vsc's remote dev stuff to try pair-programming w a friend in another state, and was surprised and delighted at how well it worked. It was effortless and frictionless.

Really? I'll give it a try. When vscode was first released this was the one feature missing.

  I tried it on the first day it was released and haven't looked back. It's made me significantly more productive than with the old ssh plug-ins.

I've had a similar experience. Nothing but good things to say about it, the extension works incredibly well.

+1 for VSCode.... I'm still waiting for the catch.

I haven't personally tried it yet, but the positive reviews made me curious - I'll have to check it out! For reference, here's the documentation page for VS Code Remote Development: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview The Remote Development Extension Pack (linked in the article): https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscod...

Do you happen to know if it works for vagrant VM's? Because having a file system mismatch (symlinked dependencies in vm, IDE doesn't recognise them) is a bit of a pain point for me right now, it would be really fantastic to find a solution within VSC.

  Looks pretty promising actually :)

  Not sure, but it works by storing files on the remote server under ~/.vscode, and this is where all the normal code files are stored. When you connect to a remote system it loads these files over ssh.

  If you can SSH to your vagrant VM, then yes!

  I've been using a Vagrant VM and VSC remote via SSH for the last two months, and it works really, really well.
