IMHO vim for editing remote files it's still far too complex, i prefer nano for editing config files and write some tiny shell scripts. I do give you the reason when editing long xml files remotely, vim is superior on that but still i prefer to locally edit the xml file with a IDE because i have the possibility to visually collapse entries and automatically show syntax errors. I know vim/emacs fanboys are going to say that all that it's possible on vim/emacs but still i have to invest time configuring those options and plugins on vim while on almost every IDE or even some simplistic GUI editor like Notepad++ those things come already configured and ready for work.
