It's a jack of all trades. I can manage my personal information, and
write code. and web pages, and interact with a versioning system. All
the knowledge and muscle memory that I learn from one task cuts across
to another.
There are many tasks for which it is not the best tool -- I still use it
to write Java, when Eclipse is better. But, it's good enough, and I
don't have to relearn everything which happens in eclipse.
And it's easy to extend; there are some rare syntaxes that I use, and I
want support. Adding this to emacs is easy, and on the fly.
