It's not the case for me. I far prefer emacs in a terminal over the gui, and thats how I've used it for years. I can't run the gui on a gnu screen session on that server I've been working on, for example. I admit I'm probably the outlier on this though.
- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoNothing wrong with being an outlier but if you can explain, I'd like to know why you prefer it (when you can, that is). I'm not mad on going mad with colours and effects, something that happens too much, but even some minimal visual feedback can be disproportionately helpful I feel.
- arminiusreturns 6y agoI'm the kind of person who lives in the cli, so I love tui's, I use a tiling window manager and gnu screen heavily. For me, it just fits my workflow. I have slowly been transitioning away from using emacs for everything though. I use it as my text editor but I no longer use it for rss, irc, email, etc. I would probably change my tune if I went back to that.

- arminiusreturns 6y agoI do, frequently. From emacs-nox. Sometimes not though because some systems have weird things that break it. (security)
