Text editing files on a remote Raspberry Pi using local editor

I am currently required to connect to my university's system of password protected rasberry pi's where I have to edit files to complete weekly projects. I am very sick of using vim in order to edit these files and tried sshfs and rmate, but have not been able to get either of these to work properly. I simply want to edit the files on the rasberry pi system with something like Sublime instead of vim.

Also, I am using MacOSX if that matters at all for the solution.

Cyberduck lets you set any application you want as an editor, so you can set Sublime as the editor that way. That's the only way I've found that works in modern macOS. Downside is I don't think you can "edit" a directory this way, if that's what you were trying to do.

There's also the paid (w/ free trial available) app Mountain Duck for mounting SSH directories like SSHFS used to do. It seems fine except that it can't follow symbolic links.
