I'm not an FTP booster either - but if FTP's going in it may as well be SFTP.
To be honest whenever I need to edit something directly on a server I find it much easier to use ssh & vim or emacs; otherwise I work on localhost & upload via Transmit / etc
I'd much rather see Allan spend time on the editor itself. I think most of us would prefer to have One Good Specialised Tool for each job
Cheers

Could some of the (S)FTP boosters spell out how an ideal editor would behave with respect to FTP? I don't get it myself... I always want a local copy as well, so I rarely every edit directly at the FTP site.
First, I'm not an (S)FTP booster at all, a good (S)FTP client is a must have for me anyway (Transmit 3 for me). I'm not even sure what an integrated FTP client could bring us, except if it could give me the possibility to open remote files as a Project...
But on "why edit files remotely", it's simply much more easy and fast! Ex: When I'm tweaking some CSS, I can't see how it could be easier than Cmd+S, Cmd+R, switch to browser...
