@kieferrm @roblourens I tried the SSH, and have a couple of questisons / feedback

1. SSH: connect to host does not remember my previous folder, it always enters a no folder vscode. Is it possible that this action remembers the last active folder in that SSH connection? This way the user would not end up in the empty folder experience this often
2. If we decide that showing explorer is the best way is it possible for the ssh extension to simply execute the following command once the connection is established workbench.view.explorer
3. I could polish the empty explorer text for this case from 'You have not yet opened a folder' -> 'You are connected to an SSH remote, please open a folder'. Suggestions on wording welcome

Unrelated to that I am still not convinced that automatically opening quick open is not the best way to go here. As for Kai's argument that users can still edit individual files and open folders -> for both those activites they need the quick open first. As far as I understand the quick open supports opening both. I am simply not aware of any action a user can do that does not require first to use quick open.

Let me know what you think
