Remote dev environments certainly have a future, especially for larger teams working on cloud software, which usually is deployed to Linux servers. If you deploy on Linux then you should also develop on Linux. With regards to what will run remotely, the question is where do you draw the line? E.g. Will at least your editor run locally, aka (VS Code remote mode)? The additional latency of the network when typing could be very annoying. The big advantage of remote environments is IMHO not that they are easier to setup. E.g you can also achieve the same locally, but it is rather that you get access to potentially unlimited resources and you can potentially speed up builds, because you can have a high performance cache for build results close to where your development environment runs.
