WCGW: Emacs, Tramp, Remote Editing.

I'm a long-time vim user. When I started programming when I was 14, I started with Notepad++ on Windows, but quickly migrated to Linux and Vim. When developing, I always used a wide variety of computers (school computer, parents computer, friends computer). But that caused a problem: I needed to bring my source around.

Eventually, I decided the solution to the problem was to get myself a server. I'd simply ssh into it, and run vim in a tmux. This was great! I could now logout from a computer anytime and resume my session from another place.

My flow with vim was based heavily on Ctrl+Z: The shell was a keystroke away. With tools like ripgrep and fd, I can easily find where methods are defined without relying on fancy IDE features, I get the imense power of CLI git, etc... But this came at a cost: the terminal sucks. I wish I could like the terminal, but it's unredeemable. Let's go over its biggest problems:

• It can't show images inline. No, w3m-img doesn't count.
• It can't change the font size for a single line. I'm editing this file in emacs, and the title is in a fatter font ahn the text.
