Been doing it for a while now. I mostly use the terminal, vim and a lightweight window manager i3 in VirtualBox on a desktop machine. I never do file sharing. Tried Samba and others. Was problematic. Another option if you use mostly the terminal is to ssh (PuTTy) into a VPS box for development using vim + tmux. That's my fallback when I'm not on my desktop or traveling.
