Heh. On the contrary, I find ssh to be a pleasant experience. Most
GUI-heavy editors are so painfully inefficient to use that I find VT100
emulators far more pleasant to work with.

I have a 1600x1200 screen, and an 18-point font, which gives me 93*41
terminal size. I find that just about right. (Like I said, I maximize
everything, and anything significantly smaller than 18-point font, I
find quite unreadable.)
