Coding from different computers and environments.
Well its even easier with Vim and such.
Just ssh into your own computer. That's it. No need to install anything on the other machine, be it Windows, Linux or MacOS. You can ssh into your shell and use Vim from there.
That's what I do at least.
Have a separate folder for all the git cloning so I dont spam my system with files, but so far SSH has be a life-saver for my day-to-day movement. Anywhere I go - pull up a bash, ssh into my ip, and that's it.

That is too limiting for me sorry. I work for different companies, projects and environments.

Working trough SSH is like using a shared hosting, prune to errors, good for small projects and so unsecure (your PC has all the private info and data of all your clients/employers).

Also I do not take Vim into serious, is good when typing books or editing configs but thats about it. As a professional developer I need a proper IDE.
