It depends on what you want to do and what you expect. As I wrote in my blog post, Emacs is more to me than just a text editor, just like a browser is more to many people than just an HTML viewer. I don't use Emacs on the command line; I use a graphical instance. I usually only have two programmes open: Emacs and a graphical browser (eww still needs some work). Being able to use my very own Emacs that has been molded according to my habits for pretty much every task is a great feature, but it only becomes obvious after some time of continued usage.
