I too use VS Code as my Jupyter platform (running remotely on a powerful EC2 instance with 32 CPUs and 256GB RAM — my own desktop is a 7 year old Intel core i7 with 8GB RAM). VS Code’s Remote extension is amazing, works over any SSH host and seamlessly blends local and remote. It’s also fast since the UI is local while the filesystem and execution is remote.
The experience is a lot better than JupyterLab (which I am forced to use from time to time on SageMaker). The VS Code UI is cleaner plus I get a full language server which means I can rename variables and refactor fearlessly.

I also get full access to VS Code plugins.
