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.
Emacs can do this using the built-in tramp-mode. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode

And it can edit files as root with tramp. And oh so much more!
Re: Sublime Enhanced
#92How 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 made switch from Sublime to Atom few months back mainly because of the thriving community. I'm pretty happy with the stability. They're doing fantastic job on improvising the speed, plugins and other tools. I agree Atom's boot time is relatively slow but I believe it will eventually catch up.
This. Whatever Atom's flaws are, the fact that it's not just one developer releasing updates once a year gives it an edge in my book.
