I'm honestly confused at how much effort people spend on .vimrc and .emacs files to get poor versions of narrow slices of functionality that comes out of the box with the most basic of IDEs.

Want to dev in Rust? Get IntelliJ Community Edition (free) with the Rust plugin. I'm sure VSCode can do this too (personally I prefer Jetbrains products and have been using them for 15+ years).

You can of course use a tty-based text editor over an ssh connection and I use that for Linux servers I connect to of course. I just don't write code that way and don't know why someone would.
