Don’t need sudo or anything pre installed for vscode either. It will send the server to the machine via SSH and then run it automagically.

You can do that with vscode too. And probably many IDEs.

The only real reason for which you would need to use vim in such cases is if the target computer can’t run the vscode server, which I’ve never encountered yet.

Some people would not select google though. And google can’t afford people knowing that there’s competitors to Google! So better fuck everyone over by just disabling the integration.
