The killer-app feature for me on VSCode, is the ability to auto save over SSH.
I tried other things like Emacs, in Tramp mode, terrible. Gawd, it’s so terrible. It took me several days to figure out how to set it up. The documentation and examples were poor or non-existent. And when I finally got it to work, I was thoroughly underwhelmed.
I looked for something else, and found VSCode had a feature for SSH. I downloaded the module, connected to my SSH server, and I was operational in a few minutes. The difference between this and Emacs, was night and day.
And VSCode had all the other nice features, like code folding, syntax highlighting, and especially, function definition lookup, which makes it so convenient to work with your functions library.
