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?
