tl;dr: terminal -> vim == less context switching

Even though I live in Emacs, I frequently use GP's workflow as well. For me, it's often the fact that I am already working in the terminal when I need to edit the config, so going to Emacs is a context switch. Moreover, I often fist do a cd /path/to/config; once there it's trivial to do vim foo or sudo vim foo.

I have an alias that can send that file to emacsclient -- but again, it takes me away from the terminal, and will not work with sudo.

Also, I've tried possibly every emacs package that helps with path completion, but they all seem to get in the way when I already know exactly what I want. Vanilla bash completion (and don't forget about fzf!!) are a better experience for me; YMMV.

That makes sense, if I'm in a terminal I'll just use vim, although I do get a lot of use out of eshell.

Run emacs in the terminal too? I use it inside tmux exclusively.
