I develop (Django/Rails) with Chrome running locally and my dev environment running in vim/tmux on a Ubuntu box that I ssh into. As long as the dev server automatically reloads when it detects a file change I see no issues.

What are you thinking you'd miss in a setup like this?

Yes. Not having to leave the box in front you is a good thing, it means you can continue working on the train even when your 3G connection drops out. It also enforces a certain discipline about dependencies.
