Earlier quoted context omitted.

if you use intelliJ ultimate edition you have official plusing for all languages for ex: I work on golang, scala, python and JS using intellij ultimate.

I have to look again, but I don't think C++ and Rust were available from there...

There is an Intellij official plugin for Rust. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8182-rust

> They just copy their init.el/vimrc to the server, Emacs/Vim users have been able to do this (coding on remote environments without all the kludges) since forever ;) and personally, I find it superior to vscoce's remote plugin since your editor and tools sit on the same machine. Unfortunately this doesn't work well if your connection has a high latency though, which I think is what VScode does really well.

did you ever try this? or is this just something which you think should be it's distinguishing feature? Asking mainly because I think this is cool, but the whole setup (lots of random binaries in the server) is not so different to an AppImage of emacs+xpra (if you could do tha) and the times I tried, the thing was _very_ picky about connection losses/timeouts...

Sorry for the late reply,

Yes, I did try this and although I don't particularly need remote editing, the fact that it took me less than 2 minutes to setup a remote editor with auto-complete and other IDE features was pretty amazing.
