While I agree that one's Emacs setup will never be able to compete with a fully-featured IDE for any single language, I've found it impossible for me to leave Emacs because I now do everything in it. However, with my org-mode integration: - I have a list of all open tasks for each of my open projects, each with an associated deadline (if applicable). - As I complete tasks, I provide a short summary of what it took to resolve the task; as such, my .org files have become a log of what I accomplished - I also use .org to clock my time, which makes it easy to summarize a week or month at a glance, and to see if I'm spending my time where I think I should be. - Finally, one of my favorite features of org-mode is the ability to include links to my code in each of my todo items, which means that I can immediately open files of interest (and even link to a particular version in git: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-git-link.html http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-git-link.html) and start editing, since I never left my editor in the first place. To me, it's not about having all the features for a single language; what keeps me working within Emacs is the ability to have all the features I've grown accustomed to for every language, and have a system customized to my liking that I never have to leave. It's certainly not for everyone (I hope I don't come across as critical), but I'm convinced nothing will ever get me to leave. EDIT: formatting.
