I like the idea of using videos to get points about specific or unique 
features of Emacs across.  I'd suggest one improvement: Please consider 
switching the current order of the "Features include" and the "Videos" 
sections.  This would increase the information flow and hierarchy of the 
website in my opinion.

My reasoning: After being introduced by the usual short blurb of text in 
the header, the user would then be presented with a general overview of 
key features that make Emacs the valuable tool it is in the "Features" 
section. Since the information is presented as a small collection of 
thumbnailish screenshots with bits of accompanying text and the one 
screenshot at the top, this slowly increases the amount of information. 
It also slowly increases the required attention/engagement of the reader 
and gives him/her a general idea of what Emacs is and what it looks like.

With this gist in mind the reader could then choose to engage even more 
and drill deeper into specific features by watching the videos and 
seeing the editor in motion.

And who wouldn't rush to the "Obtaining" section after that? :)
