  Well, I'm even more rustic, and simply use the same window manager as
GUI, typing the command line on a terminal window. But there is
something on the windows GUI that not even Emacs can give you: partial
rendering of a selected region on the last output window. That's, for
me, the only useful missing feature... unless you have a special talent
for figuring out +sc, +ec, +sr and +er percentages quickly (which seems
I'm slowly developing).
