It's also valuable to be able to compile the file and both see the error
messages, run your tests and see the results, and so on. Gnu screen
handles all of this and more very nicely, and it's my primary tool for
remote pair programming. (Of course, you do have to be using an editor
that works in a terminal window, but both emacs and vim not only do this
but are considerably more powerful than GUI editors like TextMate that
some developers mysteriously seem to prefer.)
