So if I don't find it to be slow, I am not just wrong but delusional?
VSCode with the Remote SSH mode has absolutely, objectively, sped up everything I do. It's easier to work on remote machines as if they were local, it hasn't ever seemed keystroke-slow (either on a 2015 Macbook Pro or a recent Core i3 thing -- a Surface Go 2 running Ubuntu).
It has made it feasible for me to use integrated Git support in a remote environment, it has made remote file searches actually useful, it's worthwhile to make use of language servers (even for PHP!), and it presents substantially the same UI wherever I work.
It is not noticeably interactively slow.
But if it was slightly slower than, say, TextMate or SublimeText, the cost of that interactive slowness would likely be more than offset by the sheer productive utility of the thing, and no longer needing to treat host, local VM and remote VM environments differently.
It is in sum enormously faster than anything else I've used.
But this is just the deranged ramblings of a kidnap victim?
