Two other alternatives to emacs in this situation are sshfs, and mc's (midnight commander's) fish protocol.

true, but thats the whole point. You rarely need something other than emacs ;)

Assuming you use emacs in the first place. And not everyone does, or cares to. Especially when there are alternatives with a much easier learning curve.

That's like not keeping a multitool at home. I can go on and on about weird problems emacs's has saved me from.

But sure, google a solution, download and compile it, then learn it and fix your problem...

I'll just emacs's ;)
