I started using Emacs a few months ago. When I first tried it 2 years
ago or so I didn't find my way around at all, so this time I thought I
would force myself using it, so I switched my email to Gnus (used
Sylpheed before that). Gnus is just fantastic, before that I never
really used Usenet, but now I read various groups (and I unsubscribed
from various mailinglists and switched to Gmane).
A little bit later I started using Erc for IRC. Before that I used
weechat or irssi. At the beginning I found using it weird, because I
didn't really get the buffer-management at the time (switching to Gnus
for instance destroyed my carefully setup window-layout).
Other than that I use Emacs for programming.
One of the killer features for me is the integrated
documentation. Nearly every function is documented, and when browsing
through the info-manual, one often finds new and interesting
things. The Emacswiki is also a fountain of knowledge (its search
sucks, though).
My .emacs is like entropy, it only gets larger, and never smaller ;-)
