You may want to check out SpaceVim. I've been developing on a remote machine lately; before I was using ST2/3. I could have continued to do so using (e.g.) sshfs, but I think…

I went through the install process on windows. First it said I need to install gvim first. So I did that. then set the path to gvim.exe Then I was able to install it, and it said just start gvim and plugins will install automatically. So I start gvim and nothing happens. Looks like normal gvim. I feel like these sorts of experiences are always what happen when using kinda linuxy tools. Compare to installing vscode where it just works. But then is an inefficient electron/javascript program that just works. Would be nice to have the best of both worlds! EDIT: allow me to be the change a little bit, if you install on windows, the fix: https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim/issues/3250 EDIT2: after the fix "E121: Undefined variable: g:_spacevim_if_lua" sigh
In Show HN: SpaceVim Release v1.5.0
