What I miss from vscode is the remote functionality, can you do it with emacs? For neovim there is distant.nvim, but idk if it is mature enough and configuration seems a bit annoying...

Not at the same level. TRAMP is way behind feature-wise.

You mean like the way VSCode does by installing a whole mini version of itself on the remote computer?

Well, I guess? Using TRAMP with large projects is not a pleasant experience. It works great for one-off files and remote bookmarks etc, but for working with large projects you're better off mosh/ssh-ing into the server and using Emacs there. With things like term-keys [1] you can use all the keys there as well. Basically only missing out on images and variable fonts, both of which are none issues for me at least when programming.
