You can give remote GNU Emacs a distinct look&feel that it won't  
happen that you mix up this host with another one.
You have a fully usable *shell* buffer on the the remote side.
You don't need to transfer large encoded and compressed files from  
there to here and back.
You have instant access, no buffer shuffling, just a bit of searching  
on the desktop.
It's fast, you can use data saved in registers, you don't need to re- 
type your pass-phrase(s) next working day ...
