Well that again depends on your network speed. I now have a minimum
speed of 10Mbps up and that's as good as the coaxial ethernet NFS was
designed for

But the huge advantage for ME is that NFS mounted remote filesystems
appear just like local ones. Its all nicely integrated

Sure I use ssh for some stuff. But its nice to click on a directory and
open a remote server data area

I dabbled with sshfs but for some reason I abandoned it in favour of NFS

I cant remember why....
