We just use Vim or Emacs over SSH in such cases, or if the connection is good enough over X/RDP.

With Emacs you use it locally and edit via tramp.

One of the main reasons I use Emacs whenever I do use Emacs. Though now I just do VS Code and X forwarding.
I never heard of tramp, thanks.
You might enjoy Mike Zamansky's blog post and short video about it: http://cestlaz.github.io/posts/using-emacs-25-tramp/#.W2HhPH...
Also, the manual is pretty good. It comes with Emacs, of course, or can be read at https://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/
My favorite thing about TRAMP is how well integrated it is. It's not just opening remote files, you can also open shells on remote systems, or do file management with dired (I have a bookmark pointing to dired on a remote system I use frequently, for example.)
