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.
I've been using VSCode Remote since it came out and it is indeed a godsend. I use it to develop from one trusted machine on my own LAN to another trusted machine on my own LAN and I want the experience to be as similar as possible to developing locally, which it is, and which is why I appreciate it.
I'm not surprised people trying to provide remote code editing to non-trusted clients are freaked out by it, but it is a great tool when operating in a trusted circle.
