Vim seems like the wrong example. A lot of people use it with just the defaults. Emacs seems to be customized right away by more people.

  With emacs, however, people tend to use tramp to edit files on a remote server as if they were local. So, there’s less need for actually using emacs on a server in the first place.

    You can do the same with vim (in recent versions) out-of-the-box via netrw. :help netrw

      Yeah, although my experience is that when I use vim, I generally ssh into the box and start vim there while when I use emacs, I use tramp.
