I'd disagree on "feature parity" for some usecases. For example, I used Emacs as my Java IDE for some time, but it lost that race in a hurry as IDEs caught up to JDEE. And it wasn't even close within a year or two after that.
I'm not even sure if Emacs will hold up to tools like IntelliJ for Ruby/Rails/JavaScript development at this point, although in that space it's a lot closer.
Overall, however, I agree: Emacs is freakin' awesome. Heck, I booted into it as my shell for a few years. I keep meaning to get back into it but I rarely have the time, and I need to learn more Vim as well. Time is the enemy.
