I'm always 'that guy' who will eventually run 'sudo yum install emacs-nox' on any of our dozens of EC2 instances I'm shelled into if I'm working with it for more than a few minutes. The problem is that some of these servers are already stripped down - it's even worse as we're moving to containers. Emacs, even the non-gui version, still requires about a dozen dependencies, at least on most Debian and RHEL based servers. And each time I install it, I get some bad feeling in the back of my mind, wondering if I'm the one who opened a big hole into our infrastructure because I just wouldn't learn vim. :) And yes I know about Tramp mode from my local machine, and other tricks, but sometimes it's easier to just install the damn editor locally.
