I def wanna try that out sometime!

It does sound to me like that is not a consequence of the GUI-ness of VSCode, but just the man-hours that go into making it. In other words, it doesn't sound like that experience can't be replicated in terminal-only editors.

If anyone has experience with remote editing in a terminal editor, but not through an ssh shell (ie, the traditional way), I'm very interested in hearing your experience.

As usual, emacs has a mode for everything:

Emacs’ TRAMP works well (it’s been available since at least '99, and has been built-in for as long as I can remember), and supports most everything (ssh, ftp, docker, whatever you can get at with rclone, ...). It also works fine with dired (the built-in file manager), eshell, whatever.

The mostly-single-threaded nature of Emacs gets in the way sometimes.
