My file manager has FTP built in, so I can access files on my host the same as I can my documents. I use gedit with sy tax highlighting/bracket completion/tabulous and several other plugins for added effectiveness. I can then save images or scripts or mp3s or anything to the correct place on my host the same as I would anywhere on my local HDD. F course this doesn't work when using a lanuage that requires compiling, and I prefer an IDE for those. As far as web development goes however, I find my setup to be perfect.
