Hi Dennis,

Thank you for the response. Glad you enjoyed the article. code-server is definitely cool, but the biggest problem with code-server is extensions. More specifically code-server doesn't have direct access to VS Marketplace and instead relies on their custom extension marketplace. Upgrading code-server's VS Code can be a slight nuisance too.

In short, I prefer the local experience of native VS Code.

To each his own!
