Does TRAMP mode offer any advantages to sshfs?

- 1 less step (just open the remote file directly, rather than running "sshfs" and then opening the file)

- If you execute shell commands from emacs -- these will be executed on the remote machine when editing thru tramp

- Tramp is not limited to ssh, but also allows emacs to access files in docker containers, as different users (e.g. root), in S3/GDrive/etc via the rclone backend, etc.
