My developer machines I have a neovim setup with a bunch of extra config and plugins, but when doing remote work I often have to use vanilla vi or vim.. and I just put up with it. If I need to do something significant, i'll scp the file around. I know vim can edit over ssh, but I honestly never do. I've never tried vscode, but I am tempted to try the remote support: https://github.com/DonJayamanne/pythonVSCode/wiki/Debugging-...

The maintainer is working on it: https://github.com/DonJayamanne/pythonVSCode/issues/123 maybe somebody can help him ;)

In Using Vim as a Python IDE

Yesterday I've downloaded VSCode and https://github.com/DonJayamanne/pythonVSCode (seriously, look at the GIFs in this repo!) for first time and I had autocompletion (with IntelliSense and documentation lookup), refactoring and code define jumping for Python code out of the box working within 10 minutes in a VirtualEnv. VSCode + one plugin (all opensource) and I had something similar to PyCharm and fast. (nothing against vim, just want to mention how impressed I was)
