Emacs too, of course: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode Despite that I still tend to ssh to machines and use a local editor, because I typically don't want to just edit files, I also want to run some commands in-between editing files.

VS Code can do that as well (I think it might be how they implement WSL support too).

Tramp will run whatever commands you want to run on remote server if you're running commands with `M-!` I use it for work sometimes, that + vterm and ssh makes for a fairly pleasant remote editing experience in emacs. LSP even works over tramp (kinda)

You can also SSH -X and start a GUI app on the remote machine. (you can install Xserver on both Mac and Windows) Although you need low latency/ping or it will lag.

  I have tried this setup recently (with XQuartz) but it had abysmal performance compared to a Tiger VNC session with a Linux server and a macOS client. I couldn't figure out why. I remember it was working better decades ago over 10Mbit/s connections, running on 80486 machines... Maybe between 2 Linux machines running the same Xorg versions would work better?

    I have not studied the Xserver protocol so I am only speculating. I think it would work better on older GUI's that uses predefined UI components vs apps that treat the UI as a canvas and re-paints rather then reusing components. That said, when experimenting I have found it works on games too. But high latency (more then 1ms) will kill the experience, so slow radio like wifi or a mobile modem would not work. Its funny that we have made so many advances in network an compute, both in reduced latency and increased bandwidth/capacity, yet its all eaten up by consumer stack layers, like 10ms lost due to slow radio, and another 10ms putting the image on the screen, and maybe 1-5ms in software layers. And a keyboard or touchscreen with 100Hz poll rate.
