I like the idea in principle, but wouldn't those be frustrating with a
touchscreen?

They're all heavily text-oriented, which for me mandates touch-typing on a
physical keyboard.

Every now and then I try using VNC on my phone to drive a remote computer,
and anything beyond basic tap-and-click type stuff starts getting unpleasant
very quickly.

YMMV, of course :-)
