for X forwarding blah blah blah
On the contrary, as a die-hard emacs user, I alias emacs to /usr/bin/emacs -nw when I'm not on an operating system that offers a version compiled without X support. Text editors, of all things, should respect being run in TTYs.

Please learn about daemon mode. [blogspot.com]
emacs --daemon
alias edit='/usr/bin/emacsclient -n -c -a nano'
edit somefile.txt
If you didn't previously start emacs, it will start nano. Either way, you'll have super fast editing without the need for vi. Of course, you can always use vi in place of nano - or whichever editor you prefer.
