I do the same, and love it. It really frees me to work anywhere, and instantly connect to an already-running dev-box just where I left it last time.

However, the only problem I have convincing my teammates is that they use TextMate/Sublime, and that's the only thing that seems to break this, where Vagrant is potentially easier (you can share a local folder).

I tried things like rsync and fuse over ssh, but they seem a bit sluggish or not-so-transparent. I wish there was some tool that would solve this.
