The remove editor stuff looks very interesting!
While you don't normally do any complicated editing on remote machines, the ability to run the backend on wsl2 or docker allows me to have different environments for different projects.
This was added to Visual studio code last year and worked very well.
- ytjohn 6y agoWhen a job change forced me onto a Windows environment, having that remote option in vscode is probably the biggest factor that let me keep that job. This was back on WSL1, which was horrible, so I ended up running a linux VM to get full docker and Linux support. I tried pycharm through vcxsrv, but it was just a bit off. But with the ssh plugin to vscode, it was incredibly slick. WSL2 would have the same advantages - a linux vm running under hyper-v. I see PyCharm 2021.1 has the same WSL connectivity as IntelliJ, so I will have to try this out. Would love if they added an ssh option.
