Slowness, latency, lack of control. The usual suspects?

There’s moments where you try to do a thing that normal on a local PC and it’s impossible on remote. That cognitive dissonance is the worst.

Yep. And shortcut keys and other smaller behaviors like that get weird sometimes.

If I understand correctly, they're not talking about remote desktops. Rather, the editor is local and responds normally, while the heavy lifting of compilation is done remotely. I've dabbled in this myself, and it's nice enough.
