And now for some programming...

I have been using Emacs for 15 years. Not only can you compile from within 
emacs, which I do nearly all the time. You can also debug. Debugging splits 
emacs into 2 windows with the source in one window and the debug command 
line in the other. Emacs has a compare mode where you can diff and merge. 
You can do email with emacs. I use macros extensively. For debugging, I 
found that ddd gives me a better way to graphically map my data.
