That's useful, but I think the person you were replying to doesn't just use the host machine as a remote file system but also as a build host and to have a single workspace with all its settings available from any machine. I recently set this up as well using code-server [1], which works brilliantly. I have a VM running on a powerful hypervisor host, which has all the source code, the workspace configuration with all my customisations, build tasks, etc. Compilation is fully on the host side, which is a 12-core with 32GB memory, way beyond any of the computers I use as clients, and all I need to access it is an SSH connection to it. Code-server has a progressive web app mode that makes it pretty much indistinguishable from running a local installation. First time I have had to acknowledge it wasn't such a bad idea to implement VSCode as an Electron app to be honest. [1] https://github.com/cdr/code-server https://github.com/cdr/code-server
