I find it hilarious that this is the developer attitude for their own work, but then they turn around and expect users to just suck it up and accept latency because cloud!
It's a difference in using a text editor remotely, compared to doing just about anything else remotely. I can log in and build remotely, and execute remotely, use remote git servers, even run GUIs remotely (testing my application through a VNC). But using a text editor remotely, with a few hundred millisecs rtt.. now, that is very different.
