To also be that one guy, emacs has had this with the ssh method in TRAMP basically since ssh existed. (Not the devcontainer stuff, it has something similar, but it wasn't till LXC/Docker got popular that emacs could do it that way. At least on Linux) I agree, it's amazing and great that more people are finally using this methodology, but certainly not new to VSCode

No one said it is new. It's that the experience isn't replicated by anything else, including Emacs, unless someone has a video demonstrating it that doesn't including hours of setup and years of experience with Emacs and is as seamless as it is in VS Code and gets the same ongoing support.

Okay. (Emphasis mine.)

We get it. Emacs is awesome and has been around a while. But not everybody started with it when there were no other competing tools, but now there are competing tools.
