Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know a good way to run vscode remotely? I have a large c++ code base that only compiles on a specific server, and I'd like to run it there. I tried code-server, but it's extremely buggy, and not quite ready for prime time. X forwarding was also painfully slow. Is vnc the only option?

A feature I would like is use my VScode against a python programming environment in docker. The only way I have found this possible is to actually run VSCode itself in docker.

In my time at Facebook that was the killer feature of Nuclide which switched most people to Atom. Ironically, the remote debugger was based on the Visual Studio Tools for Python one.

Why not think of the problem from the other end? Instead of running vscode on the server, run it locally and use one of the SSH/SFTP plugins (e.g. [1] [2]) to sync the code with the server.

Can you mount the server via sshfs or so and run VS Code locally and just compile remotely via SSH?

Instead of remoting the display, I mount the remote filesystem using the sshfs extension.

Try using x2go, it's a lot better then x forwarding.

Microsoft is doing a good job of turning VSCode into Visual Studio. This is far from a basic text editor anymore.

Which is honestly what they need to do, to make .net core truly next level. It was such a drag to so C# on non windows machines, and it’s becoming less and less so.

Visual Studio still has some perks, but with the dotnet cli it’s actually decent enough to use .net core on a Mac.

What I don’t get is why they aren’t focusing even more on VS Code, I mean, why bother making Visual Studio for mac when you have an all-platform alternative?

The only bad thing about VSCode is that it has made me really, really hate the dark-theme in visual studio because the code one is so much better.

Yeah never said it was a bad thing. I love VSCode and I like Visual Studio. I wish VSCode could replace Visual Studio for my current work, but I don't think it works well with .NET Framework solutions yet (and may never will).
