Doesn't help you too much, but I tend to use EmEditor on my (windows)
laptop and rsync (via cygwin) to propagate changes out to various
development/production servers.

The main reasons I use this setup are so that I always have a local copy
of the code to work on and because the majority is in SVN, which runs
much more happily when the working copies are on a local disk.

Presumably you could set up the same thing, instead of mounting the
remote dir just make a local copy, edit it with textmate and use rsync
(or unison if your remote files are likely to change) to keep the 2
copies in sync.
