In the spirit of what the person you are replying to wrote, you really weren't doing the same thing 30 years ago, because X Windows doesn't really have the capabilities vscode has for remote work. X Windows approach is very primitive compared to what vscode does.

Emacs can edit files remote to where Emacs runs with e.g. TRAMP. Emacs can also run remote to where the X server runs. Those two are entirely orthogonal to each other.
