And that also means that the default (waiting) mode of emacsclient is not available.And that is a problem? This use case is explicitly for human use (in contrast to the +LINE:COLUMN FILE case which is for programs that call $EDITOR). And it is a rare use case on top of that. So why typing a few words is a problem, and why does it justify yet another tweak of the UI?
I don't know, but I'd say that the added complexity is minimal for something that looks like a legitimate use case.
But if we do want to make this easier, I'd go with a new command-line switch, say, "--eob". The Vim way is cryptic and error-prone, so I don't think we should do the same. And I don't see at all why would someone needs to say "N lines from EOF".
One possible use case is "open a log file to look at the last N entries".
