OK, this isn't "decent". But: On a Mac, with a good connection to the remote machine, I've found the combination of

- ExpanDrive, which uses MacFUSE to mount remote volumes over SSH, but with lots of metadata caching smarts to make it fast and reliable

- My hacky remote textmate script, which gives you a "mate" command on the remote machine via ssh tunneling (https://github.com/jaylevitt/textmate_remote)

to work well with TextMate. I've been meaning to try it on ST2 but haven't yet; as long as ST2 doesn't do the horrible thing TextMate used to do and continuously rescan the project directory in a blocking thread, you'll be cool.
