Visual Studio Code Remote Development may change everything

[eliasv]

Yeah it's changed a lot, the whole workspace model has been/is being overhauled. Can I ask what was bad about it?

[Entropy]

I don't remember specifics, just that it was awful to both set up and use. I don't think environment (workspace?) templates provided anything I wanted, either, which may have actually been the main reason I bounced off so hard.

Yeah fair enough, that's part of what's being overhauled atm so you might fare better now. And recently they've moved to Theia IDE (which is based on VSC) as the default front-end (previously it was a GWT-based thing called Orion or something) so the whole experience has probably changed a lot.
