Neovim is amazing but recall how long it took you to get used to vim keybindings. It isn't something you master overnight. I recall it took me a few weeks to get comfortable. Lots of people are perfectly comfortable not using keyboard navigation.

Edit: Also to note - vscode supports editing files anywhere over ssh as well, so there isn't a huge advantage to neovim there.

Except that I can use vim on my iPad Pro with just a terminal app, which I can't do with VSCode. Vim is portable anywhere you can get a terminal connection, even if it's over serial.
While it takes more work (and probably won't work over SSH), looks like there's a neat way to host a vscode server and use and Ipad as a client of it: https://medium.com/swlh/vs-code-for-ipad-and-other-phones-an...
At this point I'd use recommend Codespaces. I taught some of my less techy colleagues how to make content changes with it and it was a breeze.
