I've been paying for the JetBrains toolbox for a few years now, I'm a huge fan.

However, JetBrains unfortunately has nothing coming close to the transparency and speed of the VSCode remote connection, with your source living only on the remote side.

In cases where being able to work on remote, for example very particular configurations, or docker containers, or WSL2, this makes a huge difference.

For me this is mostly Python and TypeScript these days, where VSCode has grown particularly strong in terms of IDE features.
