Emacs does this too -- I think it was the pioneer for this sort of functionality.
One thing I'm jealous of VSCode (as an Emacs user), is the Google Docs-style collaborative editing. Seems particularly useful for pair programming in the covid-work-from-home era.
vim scp://user@example.org//path/to/file
(Basically edits a local copy and pushes saves as scp uploads)
I've found this very useful in combination with a decent ssh config file.
