VSCode also, by design, obscures what’s really going on on the development environment, so that when I help a VSCode user who gets stuck, they often don’t know what computer they’re logged into, where their files actually are in the file system, which Python interpreter they’re using, what HTTPS_PROXY is set to, and so on. The ssh extension also spins up a server process for every client a user connects, and it seems a bit inconsistent about preserving state across disconnections. All in all, I spend a lot of time helping people fix problems they’ve made for themselves by using VSCode.
