While the reason could easily be that not everyone has the horsepower you're used to (I assume 60FPS at 4K requires a certain level of hardware), people often mean something other than high speed when they say "snappy": ease of use, good descriptive UI that gives you feedback on actions and their results, certain features that simplify tasks such as integration with other tools (git compilers, etc.). Also add other factors such as remote editing, say on a VPS with 512mb RAM with too many daemons running. |

I really like the new VS Code remote-editing feature, where the GUI is local but you can work directly on the remote system.
Visual Studio has a vaguely similar "remote debugger" feature.
Generally I avoid remote development like the plague. As you said, the latency is quite noticeable through any kind of remote connection.
Pro tip for anyone using Windows: Modern versions limit RDP to 30Hz by default, irrespective of CPU power or available bandwidth. See this MS article on how to remove the limitation: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/2885213/frame-rate-...
I always set this to 60 Hz on high-performance "workstation" VDI systems used by developers.
