FYI VSCode's SSH Agent is a godsend for remote development - the "disadvantages" that Fly lists are part of its advantages. I've worked in several teams that have made extensive use of the extension, and it's never been an issue. You can restrict SSH access arbitrarily to ensure whatever security or access guardrails you need.
The ethos of VSCode was supposed to be lightweight, something like Notepad++ with a terminal. Developers have lost the plot. Please recommend Visual Studio if you would like a feature-rich SSH agent. I think developer trends have supercharged VSCode and it feels shinier and new with all the extensions but this is an anti-pattern; it defeats the whole purpose.
For all practical purposes VSCode is a vessel to sell AI, im using vscodium for now but expect a cycle reset for it this decade (someone makes a new lightweight IDE etc)
