## Emacs
Emacs can in theory edit remote files using [TRAMP](http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/). Emacs 23.4.1 was tested and does not work since TRAMP expects a "shell" rather than the "subsystem" (see [RFC 4254 section 6.5](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4254#section-6.5)) interface Tahoe-LAFS supports. It's very unlikely that Tahoe will be changed to support a shell interface over SFTP, since the set of commands that should be implemented is not standardized.
