Re: Folding emacsclient into emacs (was: New start up splash screen annoyance...)

        ... consider other legitimate use cases such as "sudo emacs FILE"

    That is another bad habit.  It is an illegitimate use of the feature.

It is better not to have a root Emacs running all the time.  But each
time you do need one, you will probably visit multiple files in it.
So it is still not a good habit to specify file name args.
