Yes, most of the time I simply ssh to the remote system and use the
(bash) command line.  On most of the remote systems I have the same
editor (vile) and bash configuration.

However there's a few places (in particular my hosting provider) where
I have ssh access but don't have the option of getting my favourite
editor installed (and there other useful utilities missing as well) so
for those I sometime mount them locally using sshfs.
