Then tramp would be a perfect fit for you as long as you’re willing to learn emacs. If you open a remote file, almost all actions when that buffer is selected will execute in the remote context (launching commands, visiting directories, opening a shell,…)
You don't know what you're missing then and I'm not sure such opinions count. It's probably for the best to refrain from criticizing things one has no experience in.
Not wanting to pick up a tool isn't criticism. I just said that I couldn't care less. It's an editor. I work mostly with VSCode and a sometimes with Goland or Intellij and don't think about them too often. Editor wars are lame and old; so are linter and formatting wars.
