I don't write a lot of code remotely aside from the infrequent quickfix on our testing server. But I do quite a bit of editing of configurations on remote boxes; because vim is installed by default in linux, it's just matter of cloning my vim bundle (https://github.com/jwhear/vim- bundle.git) into my home directory on the remote machine and boom, my full install complete with plugins.
