What is wrong with Tramp (beside bias)?

If you edit a file or you visit a directory with dired, you can type
'C-x x @' in order to open the file/directory with sudo permissions.

If you are in dired, you can type '@' in order to open the
file/directory at point with sudo permissions.

Both work even with multi-hops.

The key bindings are available with Emacs 31.1. I would call this
"innate".
