RoR: Mac + Textmate + SSHfs = Remote Development

I recently started a major programming project using RoR and had to make the requisite decisions involving programming environments.
I elected to go with Textmate, as it was strongly recommended by two of the best RoR programmers in the world. But upon opening the application I realized that, unlike BBEdit which I normally use, Textmate doesn’t have the ability to open remote files via FTP or SSH.
Luckily there’s a workaround: if you install MacFuse and SSHfs, you can mount your remote Rails filestructure as a drive on your local system. Now I simply code using Textmate as if everything was local and Textmate doesn’t know the difference.
