When I was doing lots of NFS-hosted development, years ago, I
quickly learned to edit on the same machine as I was building
on.  X makes that easy.  That was in the late-80s-early-90s time
frame: I haven't had much use for NFS since then.  That's
changing now, though.

That's not to say that this is the way that it should be.  Just
that it's the way that it always used to be.

Cheers,
