Only if you have a single, constant remote. I've used osx fuse + Sublime a lot. It's not perfect. If you change something on the remote through not-sublime, sublime doesn't pick up changes for a long time (rather, your OS doesnt, not Sublime's fault).

That said, decent for the day to day. If you're hitting moving target servers, docker, etc, you still need to have some basic vim or emacs or nano knowledge.

Really?! It doesn't check modified date on focus?

It's more that the Fuse doesn't get signals from the remote host, so if you change data on the remote then fuse won't pick up changes even close to immediately without a restart
