My developer machines I have a neovim setup with a bunch of extra config and plugins, but when doing remote work I often have to use vanilla vi or vim.. and I just put up with it.

If I need to do something significant, i'll scp the file around. I know vim can edit over ssh, but I honestly never do.

I've never tried vscode, but I am tempted to try the remote support: https://github.com/DonJayamanne/pythonVSCode/wiki/Debugging-...
