VSCode has completely solved the complexity problem at the interface layer. It is quite literally like you are running it locally (because you are), but the commands are executed against a remote backend. Extensions are managed per host and just work naturally... it even tells you what extensions you don't have installed on the host (but do have on the local instance).

It works extremely well.

Yeah but what I mean is that is a lot of extra complexity, compared with just building code on your own workstation.

I would rather use my workstation's CPU & memory resources to actually compile the code rather than masking the complexity of moving that compilation process onto hardware which I do not own.
