I think the use of IDEs really made this practice less simple. Terminal mode emacs and vi/m are simple with SSH, VSCode and other things start getting more complex.
I think the extensions to VSCode and others to run remotely with a browser are starting to bring some of this back into fashion.

- aidos 2y agoUnless something has changed, VSCode runs in a server / client model with the FE on your local machine and the code / language servers running remotely (I don't use it, I stick to neovim).
- wongarsu 2y agoConnecting over SSH with VSCode is the most convenient SSH experience I've ever had: VSCode runs locally, connects via SSH and makes it feel like I'm working locally. I can edit files, open terminals, run software, etc. It's like running vim, a couple terminals and a scp file manager, but with the convenience of a desktop application Technically you need an extension (Remote - SSH) but I think that's installed by default. It runs some remote code on the server to make it more seamless, but that has never gotten in the way.
