I use it regularly (from the very beginning) and it works great, except that the VS Code instance is a “web” one, and as such quite restricted in terms of what extensions it can run. You also need to install a (free) file system extension for it to actually access any files (local or remote).
The terminal by itself is pretty great, and supports SSH agent forwarding (a key thing for me, that sadly mosh doesn’t handle well).
I haven’t tried it but their approach seems very promising. VS code has some excellent support for working on remote code, and if they somehow manage to make that bridge with an iPad that will be a game changer of sorts for iPad development.
It will of course require you to have an environment to actually run your “cloud” vs code. So it’s still different from developing on a Mac, especially if you want to utilise containers as your default way to run your code “locally”. Which I’m not sure things like GitHub code spaces support.
i'm using it for a while now, i just ssh to my kubernetes development pod and i do everything from there, i have also a code-server instance installed on the pod so i can use vscode as if i was on that machine. blink was really a gamechanger for me as it fits all my needs! but i think i have a job that's the best use case for blink 'cause i'm a backend dev working exclusively on cloud. the only think i don't like is that i cannot scale vscode UI inside blink
