You make it sound like you are surprised, but everyone who has tried this knows it's crap and a band aid at best.
I couldn't find anything about it that was even half as good as a real text editor.

I use VSCode/Codium since I maintain a GUI stack for general usage. But I have all the terminal tools installed for my work there as well. I hate customizing things too, which I find is necessary if you want to get the most out of terminal text editors. VSCode is pretty good out of the box, with terminal access and everything built in.
Jeez, I hope this doesn't turn into a text editor flame war...

On the other hand ephemeral cloud environment with proper security controls makes a lot of sense if the goal is to isolate and control.
If everyone was following the protocol we wouldn't have had the problem to begin with.
