The one this that is better than just SSH+Tmux+Vim, is that if your latency is higher than 30-50ms, since VSCode's SSH agent streams the files to your computer, the typing experience feels snappier. When you work half a continent away from where the servers are, it makes life nicer.
Use a local vim, and use its ssh support. It will download the file to the local buffer then upload it when you save. This way your vim config remains on your local machine, too.
