> Visual Studio Code can even operate in "remote" mode where it tunnels into a Docker container or Linux server and acts as-if the remote target was the local machine.

Of all things in this comment this one is the funniest, because Emacs was able to do it for years (decades?).

If you're talking about tramp, its design is quite a bit worse than vscode's or intellij's remote support.

Probably, but point is it’s not something revolutionary. I’ve been using tramp for quite some time and despite some quirks it’s a working solution.

The big issue with tramp is that code doesn't run remotely. Running LSPs is impractical over a network connection, no matter how close the remote is.
