I think it applies pretty well to programming. It involves switching between files, and between the IDE, console, web, debug and application views. Emacs makes a lot of this easy but it helps to have more available as simply moving your eyes from one place to the other on the screen is faster than even a few keystrokes.
I'm curious though what the time savings would have been if the test subjects were using Emacs.
