Firefox plugin: Its all Text!

This is a firefox plugin I use all the time at work. For me its very useful- what does it do? Well, you know those textareas in web pages? Where you are supposed to write stuff, like um I dont know, blog posts, wiki entries, etc? They are a pain to write in. First off, they're too small, and then I miss all my shortcuts and macros from emacs.

Enter 'Its all Text!'. You install it, then you can tell it to make all editing come in a separate app. Since I use emacsclient (at work. At home I use gnuclient), I have an emacs server running on one of my desktops which the firefox plugin calls. An emacs window pops up, I get to type away, and when I hit C-c C-c. The text gets pushed into the textarea, and I'm done :)

This this much easier that bumbling about using g-client, but otoh its not a clean solution... Which to choose?
