I feel like daemonizing Emacs should be the default. I can happily add random stuff to my init.el which causes it to take a little while to cold start, but I never see a cold start so from my perspective Emacs is instantaneous for editing a random file. I keep hundreds of files open at all times and never have an issue with performance. I just go through and prune my open buffers once a month or so, for organizational reasons more than resource usage.
