The former is bad design, it has no gradual fallback and works in a terrifying way. It pulls binaries from MS servers and runs a headless vscode instance on the remote machine. You are dead in the water if you target a machine/architecture it doesnt support.

You want to target FreeBSD? Linux on POWER or RISC-V? An old (ARMV6-TDMI) Raspberry Pi? Sorry, no remote work for you.

They are not an apple and pears comparison...

I'd very much prefer something that works seamlessly in 95% of the use cases and makes me do some work or look for an alternative for the remaining 5%, than something that makes me do work in 100% of the cases.
