Yes, I've used it before. It isn't really necessary for my uses. Also it's easier to sudo zile than go through Tramp for editing system files.

- Myrmornis 14y agoAgree about tramp not being the solution. How is zile an improvement over emacs -nw -q ?
- naner 14y agoFewer characters? :) I dunno. I've done that in the past (actually using a separate init), too. Zile just seems simpler and it works fine for me. There's a billion ways to do things, it is hard to justify idiosyncrasies. I think what started it was that I drastically simplified my emacs init file (used to be several files, very smart and thought-out but massive and filled with rarely-used stuff) and I found myself always popping into nano for quick edits to system files. Well this quickly got annoying as there were conflicting key bindings with emacs and my muscle-memory was causing frequent errors. So I googled an emacs-flavored nano and settled on the first one I tried. Then I aliased nano to 'echo "USE ZILE"' until that became second nature, too.
