I agree with the sentiments of loosing control but i wonder how practical this is. One of the best things about remote development has been able to code at home in my yard and pushing changes when needed. My experience using hosted VsCode wasn't good, in-fact our entire team felt it was slow and cumbersome, the issues raised ended up taking too much time devops time as well. As a commenter pointed out, we're back to mainframes. We got phones which got smarter and pretty damn powerful only for us to go back to web apps.
