Mac has had the mantle of “user friendly OS for developers” for a long time, but how much longer will that last? Apple seems not to care about the use case much and perhaps Microsoft can patch all the issues of not being built on Unix with stuff like this.

This threatens to be a pretty nice replacement for mosh/tmux/neovim. I’ve been using the insiders build and the only thing missing is better handling of flaky connections.

Well, SSHFS, SSH, and Docker have been a thing for a long time.

To me it seems like a lot of this is bending over backwards to keep developers in Windows even though they are working on Linux-based software.

Like tramp on emacs? (exists for at least 20 years) Or sshfs? (8 years)
