Gui Emacs via tramp+ssh is awesome.

Terminal Emacs over ssh is, well, just like anything else in a terminal over ssh. Can't say I notice the latency unless the datacenter is on the other side of the country.

Isnt it the same if you use tramp in the terminal, assuming you are running emacs locally and tramping into the server to edit?

Sure, although in that case why not use the GUI?
