Since Vimtouch / Android are now also described in this thread, some
additional information:
(1) As you say you have plenty of choices on Android

(2) Cut and paste between apps on Android is very easy. Tap-and-hold a
piece of text and a small toolbar pops-up where you can select cut/copy.
Then in another app you can tap-and-hold in a textfield and a paste
button will show up. In Vimtouch you can use the default paste registers
(*/+) to paste from and copy to the system clipboard.

(3) The latest Vimtouch release (2.3, released yesterday) now uses some
standaard Android interface to open files which let you choose files
from other apps. This even allows you to immediately select a file from
your Dropbox. A really nice improvement. I guess if you use SugarSync,
it would also show up in that dialog.
Why do you think SugarSync is more convenient than Dropbox? (I just
upgraded to a paid Dropbox account a few days ago. When I had a look at
SugarSync, they were more expensive and had no Linux client.)
