I've tried that, but in this case i would just NFS/sshfs share the directory and work with vim locally. Vim can also read and write files across networks (while running locally): vim scp://user@myserver[:port]//path/to/file.txt should work. If you want to run builds and such on a terminal, just have a tmux window with an active ssh connection. There's a solution to most issues out there.
