But it is longer to type, harder to learn, and even after years of use, I find I have trouble remembering, sometimes to use it. It also looks odd to use emacsclient rather than emacs in configuration files like /etc/mailcap. In short, it=E2=80=99s yet another t= hing to remember. Most web browsers fix this problem nicely by using the same command to start the browser as to open a new window in that browser. It would be nice if emacs did the same, i.e. if emacs had a -client flag which made it work like emacsclient. Even if it did something as simple as passing the remaining arguments to emacsclient.
