Our team switched about a year ago to huge benefit. We’re using VSCode locally to connect and edit repos hosted remotely. VSCode’s remote extensions are really good and from a code editing perspective the difference is almost imperceptible. One of the drivers for us is we use remote dev databases and services so overall latency is dramatically reduced. It also allows us to much more easily deploy dev environments that are almost identical to production. The downside is folks can no longer use their favorite editor but for now everyone’s happy with VSCode.
