wdym?
Not OP, but in my experience, remote vscode is way snappier than intellij’s equivalent feature. Essentially indistinguishable from local dev.
I don’t doubt the main reason is just the maturity of the feature. VScode has had this for over 6 years and I it’s still basically (actually?) a beta feature in intellij
I can corroborate OP’s experience, it’s basically unusable on iJ and it disconnects all the time, with catastrophic results. I just don’t use it and stick to VS Code for SSH work.
I think that was true like six months ago, but I just did it again like two weeks ago with my coworker and it has vastly improved. I had no disconnects and it was very fast the whole time.
Good to know, I’ll give it another shot then :)
I’m guessing it’s still not as good as VS Code, but compared to before, it’s much better.
VSCode is much lighter (both in CPU and in storage space) to run than the JetBrains toolchain, so that’s another aspect.
I had WebStorm take down a server while it was trying to handle the remote toolchain haha
