I've always thought this is a very silly reason to use vim, when almost any text editor can remotely access files via ssh, and FUSE tools like sshfs exist.

I use vim extensively as both an IDE and config file editor, but almost never actually run it remotely on servers. I would rather not lose my configs and have to have two separate sets of muscle memory.
