Excellent. I remember C# support for .NET Core was really solid even 6-7 years ago.
So for a large number of use cases, they have to be talking about retiring VS eventually too.
This multi-process architecture (with language servers, debug servers, remote SSH mode, etc probably making much better use of multiple cores has to be easier to migrate to)

Yeah. Remote mode is a killer feature IMO (sadly the official implementation is closed source, and there's no support for Docker in unofficial ones – although coincidentally I'm working on this)

Yeah remote mode is amazing. All the visual latency is 0, but the “brain” is on a different server over a low traffic link.
I’ve used it before on a mobile tethered line with Tailscale and it was magical.

Properly navigating through python modules (clicking through to the module source) doesn’t even work nicely in VSCode (even with the base python extension installed) so I don’t have high hopes for debugging being any better. VSCode is amazing for typescript though, and I had great success doing C++ and Rust. Python seems lacking in my experience though

That's weird, it works for me just fine.
It's working in VS Code now, too. For popular languages, you just have to install the respective plugin (only TypeScript is builtin), but it's just a click on the prompt. I've been doing lots of Python debugging and it's pretty much a seamless experience.
