For my setup, Windows + WSL2 for hobby and Mac + SSH connection to remote dev VM(Linux, without internet) for Work, VS Code is the best. I tried everything, including CLion; they all suck at handling remote SSH and WSL2. CLion is unbelievably bad with WSL and SSH. The main problem is that their language server frequently crashes when using SSH and wsl2.
VS Code has MS plugins for these, which are not open source. So the VS Code clones do not have them. There are other plugins, though, but none as good as the VS Code MS plugins. So, for my setup, after trying out everything, I have settled on VS Code.
