I've got a couple co-workers who feel the same. I've always just used ssh/vim in such cases, but apparently the remote-editing experience on VSCode isn't nearly as good as that of Atom for some reason. Otherwise, I really love VSCode, the only thing it lacks for me now is the ability to separate tabs into different instances/windows but that's more of an electron issue. I've pretty much stopped using jetbrain's products in favor of it.
