I'm a writer *and* a translator, and I do everything in Emacs.
Specifically, I do all my writing in org mode, which is shaping up to be
something like Emacs' "killer app," if that concept applies. I think org
mode is doing quite a bit to draw in new users, particularly those who
don't necessarily count as "real" programmers.
