I use it for developing inside docker containers.
We have a dockerized Apache Airflow setup for which I am adding plugins.
Remote VSCode allows to work inside one of the containers spun up by docker-compose, so I do not have to simulate the environment the final system is running in.
Think of it as python venv on steroids.
Another use case is remote ssh where I can work on a headless system with a graphical editor.
I use it e.g. to work in a minimal Linux VM from my Windows desktop.
The remote docker plugin is a little fiddly to setup, but once running works pretty good.
