Thanks Mulianto and James. To James, perhaps I don't have a good workflow which is why the ability to edit files on a remote server is also a necessity. I grew tired of having to build a development environment on both my Mac laptop and my Debian server where my Django app runs so now I just log into my dev server and do all my editing there using Vim. I don't have time to setup up a local Debian server using Vagrant and Ansible and even if I did, I suspect PyCharm would still think of that local VM as a remote server. I'm not sure. These environments can easily become complicated and confusing to a Django noob like me. I'm not really sure what the optimal development environment setup should be.
