Just remember that you _can_ run X apps without having a local X server.
You can display them remotely.
If you're concerned about the overhead, just don't run any KDE or GNOME
apps. E.g., Motif NEdit is an option, and several other apps are GTK+
(no GNOME) as well.

Port 22, although I'd _change_ your SSH port which removes about 98% of
the script kiddie attacks.
You can login with "ssh -X" to setup the display so the X programs will
appear locally.

There are many other editors too, including nano (pico replacement), joe
(Wordstar-like), etc...
