You know more than I about these things, I'm sure, but this doesn't seem 
accurate to me.

As far as I can tell, emacsclientw is a GUI program and emacsclient is a CLI 
program.  Both wait for the server to finish before they return, unless you use 
-n, in which case both of them return right away.

Perhaps a better rule is, when the invoking program is a GUI program (e.g. 
you're in a shell within emacs), use emacsclientw (emacsclient pops up an 
annoying console window in this case); when the invoking program is a CLI 
program where you want messages to come out on stdout, use emacsclient.

Does that work?
