VS Code on a Remote Server

This will be very cool when someone packages it up to be a full IDE experience. Things like automatic language completion for multiple languages, project based view, etc. This is amazing and might make things like a chromebook much more viable for me and many other developers.

If you don't mind installing Linux on your Chromebook you can run VSCode or anything you want natively.

I've been running GalliumOS on mine for years and it's superb. It might be the best $350 I ever spent. I wrote a huge review and write up of the process at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/transform-a-toshiba-chromeboo...

I would still get the same Chromebook today too if you can find one. That specific model happens to be a perfect storm of massive value / great specs at a low price.

This does exactly that. You can install whatever VS Code extensions, language servers and runtimes you want on your remote machine, and the local (web) IDE will use all of them as normal.

To me Che is an Enterprise IDE, which integrates with the deployment platform. The majority of people just want an IDE in the browser, like c9 or vscode.
