I love Emacs in SSH sessions or for quick edits in the Terminal, but I go nuts very quickly when I have to use it on a GUI box. There are many things that simply work better with a mouse and a menu-driven interface. No console-only editor can give me that, and therefore no console-only editor is suitable to use on a GUI box by my standards. (No, Xemacs is not the answer -- it sucks.)
