It would be nice to have an editor which can work locally and edit remotely using keyless SSH (e.g., using PEM files) which is a common use case for cloud setups like EC2. Near impossible getting this to work on Sublime or almost anything else. I'm surprised there isnt more developer request for such tools.

Nuclide (FB's atom based IDE) does this fairly well: https://nuclide.io/docs/features/remote/

I believe remote editing is Nuclide's raison d'etre.

Would be a stronger sell with examples in at least one other language. It looks like you're trying to be language-agnostic, but from all the GIFs, I'd presume this is only useful for Python.

If you can afford to install emacs+x11, that could work pretty well over ssh.

How do Sublime users feel about Atom ( https://atom.io/ ) as a replacement? I switched from Sublime 2 to Atom earlier this year and haven't really looked back. I admit, though, that my customization needs in the environment have been minimal. I've written a couple of editing short-cuts for Elixir source, but that's it. I'm curious to learn what features in Sublime merit purchasing it over Atom or another free text ed…

I use both on a daily basis. Sublime is incredibly fast, and I constantly find myself switching from Atom to Sublime for various reasons (big files to edit or big JSONs to format, search and replace across a big project...). Atom's UI is really great though, I wish Sublime came close as for the user-friendliness of the configuration. Also Atom now has better plugins than Sublime.

Note I also use VS Code a lot because its Git Diff view is awesome and its debugger is a rock too. The extensions are generally not great though.

And I use vim when I need to edit a single file quickly.

I wanted to like Atom but when I was trying it out it was awfully slow and additionally it was a real energy hog, draining my battery unacceptably quickly.

Add to that the fact that I often need to edit text on remote machines via ssh and it just wasn't worth it to me to keep using it when Vim was (and still is) perfectly satisfactory.

Been using ST2 for many years, then ST3 till last year. Tried out Atom but it was slow and sluggish. Out of sheer curiosity, learned myself some vi from scratch and switched to Spacemacs, haven't looked back since :)

I'll have to check out spacemacs. I've always been a vim person in that eternal war, but spacemacs looks doable for a vi user and interesting.

Do you know you can mount a remote filesystem using sshfs? It changed my life a few years back. Super easy to use and no need to have the functionality built into the editor, which in my opinion, isn't where this functionality belongs anyway.

I've never had a good experience with sshfs on Windows. Different settings are either too slow or don't kill the cache when I change something. My current workflow is to clone the project both on my machine and my development server, then sync the changes with the SFTP plugin.
