Main use-case here is to open emacs in terminal (emacs -nw) for a quick edit. Emacs in terminal doesn't look ugly at all (because of lack of GUI), and is quite usable without config actually (that's how I'm using it for quick edits, "emacs -nw -q"), but modes and configurations would be definitely helpful to have without sacrificing time-to-edit.
