I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as the Linux thread, is in fact, the GNU/Linux thread, or as I've recently taken to calling it, the GNU plus Linux thread. Linux is not an operating system thread unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU thread made useful by the GNU core devs, FSF board members and vital gentoo CFLAGS comprising a full shitpost as defined by POSIX.

text editors have integrated support for remote editing over ssh? what the gently caress is this poo poo

you get remote editing over ssh by running 'sshfs host:path whatever/local/path' and then using your editor to open the "local" file that is actually remote

never, like, count out Touchdown Tom, man
the other thing many of those editors use that to support (at least emacs tramp mode idk about vi but i assume so) is a sudo:// protocol which is real nice for quick changes to config files

You get remote editing over ssh by running vim on the other machine. The entire point of vim is that it's everywhere.

because if you use your editors built-n functionality you can use your editor but if you use your OS's functionality you can use any program you want

Vim not only supports scp, but also http and ftp!

You're right though that it is a bit superfluous. But all the more tools in the endless swiss army knife of modern posix environs.

unfortunately i've these days gotten fully spoiled by having visual studio code just downloading and run the actual meat of the editor on the remote host. a bit of a different use scenario, since it assumes the tools you want to use are on the remote, but that is more usually true for my needs.

Vscode is bad it's just better than everything else, cross platform, free, and incredibly easy to make add-ons for, so for some reason it's fairly popular.
