On: GCFS: a Garbage-Collected Filesystem for Linux

[ciupicri]

The latest GNOME doesn't have this limitation because it uses FUSE. Any application, e.g. vim can use those files.

Except for a problem, that you have to mount (by accessing) GVFS-filesystem first. If you're using Nautilus to navigate to the file and start vim — it's fine, but it won't work for any non-GIO file browsing (bash, mc, emacs-dired, gmplayer, ...)
