On my desktop I use emacs within X window, even if I've disabled
almost any toolbar and menubar and don't use the mouse at all.
However, when connected to a remote server via SSH, being able to run
emacs is a killing feature to me.
Moreover, what I found very interesting to do is to start emacs on the
remote machine and live within (i.e., use eshell for other tasks).
