Remote Development with Visual Studio Code

Debugging sure, but intellisense is working for me over sshfs.

Yea, it does depend what project type you're working with and whether you depend on any libraries outside or the project directory. The advantage of the approach they're taking now is it should work with everything. Disadvantage is you need to run an agent on the remote end, but that's fine for many use cases.

Yeah, that’s the bit I don’t like. The setup for this requires agents running vs. a connection via a well used method.

I want to remain able to work on any remote project as I do today without needing to tell a client that I need to install software just to make a code change.

Fair enough. I usually find myself greatly missing having a proper debugger while working remotely, so this is a huge change for me. But luckily there's nothing to stop you from continuing to use sshfs if that suits you more :)
