You can run an emacs daemon[0] and connect to it from clients both local and remote, including having multiple clients connected to the same daemon and editing the same file with total synchronization built in, you see not only the changes in realntime but the other client's cursors making the changes, for the masochists that enjoy pair programming.

And yes you can run the client using the gui emacs not only terminal emacs.

I assume that's what he is talking about.

Your comment is confusing in the same way as the the other guy's is. In fact it is worse.

None of the machinery you describe can be used for anything except specifying files (and line numbers and column numbers) to be visited. An emacs user still needs some way of interacting with the visited file, e.g., a terminal emulator or an X server. This "Emacs server" does not help with that. It's another example of Emacs using unusual terminology!

Have you actually used Emacs or do you just enjoy making pendantic confusing replies?
