This is actually one of the primary reasons I haven't gotten into Emacs. To get the most out of it requires customization to its startup config. But I spend most of my time on random servers I support, which won't have my custom configs on it.
Now what would be really nice is to have config forwarding built into ssh, similar to how ssh key agent forwarding works.
- cup-of-tea 9y agoI do maintain some level of vim knowledge for when I'm on strange systems. But it's not hard to install my emacs config so if I'm going to spend significant time on a system I will do that. But if you can ssh in, you could just tramp on your local emacs to edit files remotely. It's quite magical.
- derekp7 9y agoIn my case, I have to support a large number (500 or so) Linux boxes that are hosted at customer sites (for a custom middleware-type application). And the remote access they have provided for us isn't a direct ssh connection, it goes through a web based gateway using an old active-x control, and embedded shockwave/flash based app (yes, yuck). I'm in the process of replacing that now.

- lallysingh 9y agoI just use tramp to edit files remotely in emacs. Works reasonable well.
