In more detail here's I do it; the application/project I'm working on is always hosted on a cloud CentOS machine(s), that have the git/svn checkout locally, and will run the app there. I have some install scripts that setup everything the way I like it.
When my client is Windows, I'll use Putty and development via console Vim OR samba mount the repository directory on remote CentOS, then use Sublime Text / Vim. The latter works really well when using a local vmware image for CentOS too. When my client is Linux, I'll use ssh and console Vim OR sshfs/fuse to mount the repository directory on remote CentOS, then Sublime/Vim again. The reason it works well for me, is: a) I often have non-node stuff necessary for my work like postgresql, redis, cli apps, nginx, postfix, binary content etc.. I can't install those all from scratch on every machine I want to work from. b) I want the immediate feedback of save/refresh, so I don't like waiting for rsync or a push/pull. c) Some modules won't work cross platform and I don't care about supporting Windows as a server (I think MS support of Node is great though). d) This same setup works equally well for python/ruby/php apps as I can't use node exclusively. e) My development is under the same conditions as my production environment, so deploying is generally easy. Biggest downside is your editor may die if it doesn't cache file listings and you have a slower link/big repository. Also, I was using ssh/putty with multitail to monitor log files while I work, but I just started trying out http://logio.org/ as a replacement - fantastic so far.
