Up until about a year ago, I used emacs exclusively from a terminal. The only reason I switched was because I usually have a number of tmux sessions open (with multiple “windows” in each one), and I kept losing emacs :). Having it in its own window made it easier to jump back to.

I’ll still often SSH home from a Chromebook and edit remotely. The fact that everything still works exactly the same is awesome. If you want to make an editor that doesn’t support that, you’re welcome to, but it won’t become my editor :)
