That's my workaround, but it's less convenient.

I don't find it to be a workaround. The remote development stuff loads a bunch of projects and processes onto the remote host. I have some pretty small VMs that I run some older production servers in. Which is my principal use case for remote development.

Connecting to them this way brings them to their knees. That and seeing a host of new high memory processes doesn't give me warm fuzzies about the security risks on important remote systems.

Pretty much why I'm using sshfs and not the VSCode remote.

And Atom over sshfs, and crawling the whole project before showing a window is a deal breaker for me
