On KDE you can mount the SSH system as local and use your usual tool set. Or Krusader integrates an editor or passes off to Kate for editing (or kdiff3 for file compare or whatnot).

As long as I have nano or can apt-install it then I'm happy to ssh in and do it that way; but it doesn't seem more convoluted to use GUI tools necessarily.

I'd say mounting a remote filesystem is convoluted when you can just edit with vi :-)

It's one click; it's not my normal way of working but one could make it no click, just needing connected to systems when not working on them (or monitoring) seems unwise.
