Or, you know, run emacs on the server and write a "ssh based client" for it. :)

What would be the value of running in a browser specifically? The files you are editting almost by definition live outside the browser's sandbox. And if they're going to be managed server-side, it seems like there's a perfectly working 40 year old paradigm for managing files on a remote host.

You're right, it's an interesting challenge but not necessarily one that is begging to be solved.
