I find this hard to believe. Not that you may like one over the other, but that one is superior.

Getting used to tramp, magit, and eshell has effectively made it so I will be in Emacs forever. Adding in developer modes helps. Same for org. But really it is the seamless eshell ability to "cd /ssh:mycomputer/" and not with about reconnecting a terminal over and over that is something I don't want to leave.

That's also built into VSCode. The feature is called "Remote".

Not the same, from what I have seen. But, more pointedly, I have been doing this specific workflow for over the last decade.

So, it is close. But most of Emacs "just works" over a tramp connection. From git to old and new code completion. And has done so for a long time.
