VSC is cross platform and runs happily on MacOS, Linux, and Windows. It's remote development capabilities let me run it on a MacOS laptop and develop code on a Linux server. It's replaced every other IDE for me since plug-ins let me do Python, C/C++, Fortran, CMake, Java, etc. equally well. Edit: Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Community does not run on Linux. Visual Studio Code does though.

  Microsoft naming sucks so, so very much. There's so many instances of tangentially-related products that get lumped under a brand name and unless one is intimately aware of these evolutions it causes a huge amount of needless confusion.

  Click on the Extensions icon on the left side of the window. Search for and install the Remove Development pack. Reload VSC. Click on the Gear icon, then Command Palette. Type "connect" and you should see an option for "Remote-SSH: Connect to Host…" Select that and you're off to the races. VSC will install extensions in ~/.vscode-server on your remove Linux server. Remote development with TRAMP was the main thing that kept me on Emacs. Once VSC offered a credible alternative, I switched.

      Out of the box, you can edit remote files with > :e scp://user@myserver[:port]//path/to/file.txt It creates a temporary copy and upload it on save. For more complicated editing, sshfs would be the way to go. I don't know if there's a plugin that can simplifies all this... probably someone somewhere did something but is it stable and maintained?
