I use vim via ssh and in tmux everyday. I mostly love it.

But sometimes there are merge conflicts. I've settled for xpra and kdiff3 as the mergetool. I just can't handle the problem without a GUI tool.

But isn't it still easier to use a proper IDE in the local machine with Linux/Windows/OSX gui and then just git push the code? What advantages does your setup have?
Most 'proper' IDEs have no or terrible merge tools.
And terminal has better such tools?
my $WORK issued machine is a windows box and the software i work on is 99% Linux.
I work from home and I voluntarily choosed exactly this setup. Windows desktop and IDE tools are more comfortable, but the "real" software runs on Linux VM.
