I have been in RDP land but I would never go back unless required (windows). While it could just be personal experience/failures, latency was not good and reliability was not good. Things are probably better as of late though I hesitate to assume software has improved... It is just much simpler to live in the terminal for dev work, especially with agents. That being said, I use MacOS and Windows daily for non-dev work. Either way, your points are valid, and whatever works for you works for you friend :)
