Maybe it's misdetecting something? I used to use Remote Desktop for game development sometimes, as weather could make the journey to the office impossible, and the performance was always pretty ok, even with UE5 stuff making heavy use of Nanite running at 1440p.
And if it was actually software emulated, which I can't believe for a moment, though I admit I never checked (I just always assumed the window contents were transmitted via some kind of video encoder) - then I can't imagine that a text editor would be a problem.
The input latency might not be as good as you'd like.

Yeah input latency is annoyingly rough, not super bad but _just_ laggy enough to make it annoying to use.
Debating how much I want to change things, I can directly punch into my Linux machine but all my dev IDEs are on a VM for a long list of reasons, and I doubt Zed is going to run on my old ThinkPad if it struggles on software rendering, but we'll see.
