I agree with Bill's post. I can't see any benefir for IDEs but a better 
documentation tool based on this would be great.

regarding working on a remote machine:
you can mount a remote file system through ssh and work localy on that 
remoted filesystem.

eclipse provides a similar concept with a plugin (search for RSE or TM 
for eclipse)
in addition eclipse provides better integration with the remote machine: 
executing remote commands straight from the GUI, remote debugging 
integration, etc..

in the latest version the CDT integration was improved a lot. it still 
isn't perfect (the C++ indexer needs more work) but I think by the next 
release they'll fix the remaining issues.
