Yeah, I do use Tramp mode, but have, at times, had problems with it and actually found an smb mount to be more reliable (ha!) when editing files. But often what is the case is that I'm using a variety of bash tools while ssh'd in, and then quickly find I need to edit a file and so launch the server's copy of emacs. Theoretically, I could do everything in Emacs terminal mode, or eshell, either using Tramp, or in the remote instance of Emacs, but I never seem to find that it works hassle free, which is too bad, because I really like being able to move about the terminal field as if it were a text file (e.g. doing a regex on already existing output, etc.).
