Possibly not, but for lightweight IDEs I think it would be of much use.
It would also make things very accessible to Emacs and Vim, two very
widely used programmers' editors.
(One thing I like about Vim is I can run it remotely via putty. A
graphical gui IDE is impractical to use remotely, and yes, I've tried
remote desktops. Unusable.)
I agree with Bill's post. I can't see any benefir for IDEs but a better
documentation tool based on this would be great.
regarding working on a remote machine:
you can mount a remote file system through ssh and work localy on that
remoted filesystem.
eclipse provides a similar concept with a plugin (search for RSE or TM
for eclipse)
in addition eclipse provides better integration with the remote machine:
executing remote commands straight from the GUI, remote debugging
integration, etc..
in the latest version the CDT integration was improved a lot. it still
isn't perfect (the C++ indexer needs more work) but I think by the next
release they'll fix the remaining issues.
