sshfs doesn't require X...? It's just a filesystem.

No, but Acme/Sam ports do. And emacs, vim, and sam and acme ports all require a POSIX api which the chromebook lacks.

Not all ports of Acme/Sam require X.

The mouse is pretty inherent to both designs. What TUI version of acme are you talking about? Because AFAIK, none exist.

The macOS, Plan 9, Windows and Inferno versions of acme do not require X.

...And were you not listening to the point which started this discussion, which is that I do most of my development on a Chromebook, and all that has is SSH.

It doesn't have vnc or similar screen-sharing functionality?

Yeah, but the SSH connection is slow enough as it is. VNC would be quite unpleasant. Also, this is laptop, so I've got a touchpad. Not the best thing for Acme.
