I love Light Table. I just wish there was a text-only mode/version too (even if it's somewhat limited) that I could use when I'm doing development via ssh on other machines, which accounts for a large portion of what I do. If that pops up sometime it would likely become my primary editor pretty quickly.


You could always mount the filesystem of the remote machine (via SSHFS) locally, and use whatever editor you want.

Here's an (old) article about it: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8904


I'm 100% sure that somebody will port TRAMP to LT - and sooner rather than later :) LT looks like it's the only editor capable of pressuring Emacs in the future and to do this it has to have features like transparent handling of remote filesystems via a bazillion of protocols either in core or as a plugin. So I think it will get one eventually :)

I have to second the comment saying "just use SSHFS", I use it for everything and I would never go back. The non-console versions of editors are worth it, nevermind the rest of the conveniences.
