Yeah. Punchcards were a lot better. Let's go back to that.
To each his own, I guess. But seeing as I'm in Korea, and internet is basically a giant LAN, I'm very happy to treat my Server as a second desktop, with all the ease that entails. I'm actually a busy solo programmer, so every second I can save is another second I can apply toward new features for my site.
I like them both to be present, sometimes I just get sick of typing. But nothing on old fashioned typewriting enthusiasts !

On a slightly different note, I just learned about NGINX Unit. Very nifty. Really seems to be made for containers.
In terms of expensive: it is.

Free trial. There are so many options and features that it spins the head, but in a very exciting way.
My subscription would end before the end of this year -with my host-; so it worth a trial
VS became very heavy on my machine; I'm also not very inclined to keep using C# and Razor. NGINX sounds very interesting.
