On the other hand, NFS is a fully-featured filesystem that supports
fancy features like locking and a full ACL system.  SSHFS is a FUSE
filesystem that will break a lot of software if you try to use it for
anything more complex than 'ls' and 'cp'.

For what it's worth, Samba with SMBv3 and the POSIX extension[1] is a
lot more tolerant of bad connections, and presents itself as a real
filesystem under linux.
