In my experience, Emacs is excellent if you take the time to set it up to do as much as possible. Manage work with OrgMode, read email with any number of packages, edit code in one of the supported languages, send and receive messages. The less you have to leave the application, the more productive you are. There are 2 issues with this, the first is the sheer number of packages you need to install. Packages are a mixed blessing because they add so much, but if the person who wrote it stops working on it, you now need to take over or find something else. The second is the configuration. If you're willing to do all that work and keep it running, that's awesome.
