While I enjoy the desktop VSCode, the future of VSCode is in the server. 🙂 Oh, the future of the IDE, not all of it, just most of it. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/vscode-server

Do you develop like this? What's the benefit? This is harking back to the days where everyone was touting thin clients which never really took off. With containers, and computers being so fast now - why would I not run my entire stack locally? I can switch environments / stacks in a matter of seconds? And tomorrow when I loose power due to whatever is left of Ian going by I'll still be able to code with everything running on my local machine 🙂

It follows the theme, it's not all about me. While local is awesome, collaboration over local can be a challenge. Is there more than one team member local? If so, what if we need to set up a new system, or a system crashes and needs to be set up again. Having an in office cloud can be the game changer... when that power goes out, if you still have a network in office you could invite a co-worker to come over and stay productive, local.

I would like to talk to someone who uses it to see what the benefits are... For system replication - I have containers and my vscode config is backed up in numerous locations. It's interesting they don't allow you to share a server... Is the VS Code Server designed for multiple users to access the same remote instance? No, an instance of the server is designed to be accessed by a single user.

Sounds like a singleton.

VsCode server, Meh.. You could just hack grapeJS and call it a day.
