I'm not sure how well "relegated" is going to go over here since Vim and Emacs are considered by many the best editors.
If you're on a Gnome-flavored Linux, then many "lesser" editors can use GVFS to remotely work on files.

- mrmaddog 15y agoDon't get me wrong, I have grown to love emacs. I use it all day, every day, and a good portion of my hippocampus is dedicated to storing away emacs keyboard shortcuts. But why can't I have what is good about emacs (a ton of buffers, unlimited bash shells, keyboard based) in a native text editor? I'm content with emacs now, but why do engineers have to spend so much time wrestling with an editor like emacs before being able to use it properly?

I don't know if there has been any further development but that definitely has thought provoking ideas. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2559734 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2559734
