the async / sync is the choice of an application. the same choice applies to local files, which may not be that local when you consider nfs mounts etc.

gnome-vfs doesn't cache files. methods such as ftp keep a connection open to be used be subsequent actions though.

As for a file changing, the same problem occurs with the local file system. gvim I'm guessing polls the file for its modtime, the same can be done with gnome-vfs, although is wouldn't be nice due to the extra network traffic.

Indeed. a straight forward fopen/fread/fwrite replace will get you support for all methods (in the theoretical situation they were all bug free). In a lot of cases I suspect apps don't handle the corner cases with fopen either.
