For me it's the single best feature about VSCode.

Extremely useful for projects which have an environment that is a bit tricky to setup - so usually python. I can just run all my python projects on a workstation or even some powerful cluster node and never need to mess with a local python version on the windows laptop. A giant improvement over the rather lackluster remote mode of Pycharm which needs a local environment to be useful at all. It even supports a remote connection via a jumphost, e.g. for cluster nodes behind another login node.

On the other end the editor is significantly worse when compared to Pycharm. The refactoring is mostly unusable across files and more often breaks things than helps. No perfect tool I guess.



Is PyCharm that much worse for remote development? I've been thinking of trying it out
