I suppose I fail to see the advantages because I have never had a need to keep remote and local synced as I go. Its always been work on local and sync to remote, with editing on a remote for very specific and limited things.

i was replying to “install your preferred editor on the remote” - without syncing your config, you might as well just use vim even if it’s not your favorite.

most of my remote editing fits into your description. of course, if you’re not an emacs user, you likely won’t find much value in tramp, magit, org-mode, dired, ediff, eshell, etc
