Does that actually work?
My understanding is that without screen/tmux, the process will die if you disconnect the shell (on a remote box).
Interesting that --daemon works too (I've been running emacs through tmux for years, and never knew that).

It definitely works, starting emacs with "--daemon".
My emacs uptimes (M-x emacs-uptime) are generally the same as my machine's uptime, which is typically months. Emacs is one of the most rock-solid pieces of software I have running.
It's also great for remote. I have emacs daemons running continuously on my remote boxes. To start work on those machines, I log in and start my emacs client. I've never had a need for things like "screen".
