I treat emacs as the only alternative to vim on the server. On your own GUI machine there are plenty of alternatives. Do people recommend the use of emacs over vim on servers? (Mainly editing server config files and reading long logs) Any good plugins to enhance its use for this use case? I have pretty much ignored emacs for the last 15 years when I felt it didn't act as snappy as vim.
