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

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...
