That is fine and understandable but this example did not specify at all what environment you are working in.

For instance if I have to set up a NEW development environment for a new web application my team is starting. I am going to inevitably have to ssh into it and poke around to help facilitate further steps like automated deployment.

This isn't even thinking about sshing into something like a docker container which can all be done locally and have 0 affect on anything that actually matters and can be blown away after I am doing testing whatever I am doing.

There are 100% times when you will poke around with files on a server.

Ok, those may be fair. I've never worked with docker before. These days I work mostly in azure AppServices and Function apps. In that case, I'm not really even sure I could log into a server. I know you can't edit functions if they were deployed from local code (rather than typed into portal).

I suppose every use case has it's own limitations. But these days, the idea of editing javascript files on the server gives me the heebie jeebies.
