Vim And Emacs Are The Most Important Skills You Should Learn

This was interesting:

He’s definitely more of an Emacs fan (which is fine) and the thing I found interesting is how you work with remote servers - on Vim you don’t, you use the terminal to SSH into a remote server and then fire up the installed Vim there to edit files, but in this vid he’s saying with Emacs you ssh into the server from emacs and any files you edit you edit on -your- emacs on your local machine, not one installed on the server. This is interesting!

So does this mean Emacs has a ‘full’ terminal? And will it use my .bashrc or .zshrc automatically? I have lots of functions/aliases etc that I’d want to use. Would be cool if it can do this!
