Just because we don't have access to great tools when working in remote server doesn't mean we shouldn't use them locally. I use Vim with lots of plugins on my personal projects, I use IntelliJ at work. But if I need to ssh and vi, it's ok, I know how to it efficiently. With Fleet or VSCode you can easily use your dev environment with your tools, plugins, shortcode to work on remote codebase via SSH.

I agree, and fzf is a good example - on my local box it speeds up my reverse search, whereas when I'm on a remote server I use the same Ctrl+R I used for decades, and the final result is similar so no additional cognitive load.
