What was it that he said about emacs?

  It was some blogpost I can't seem to find, but they explained all the different things they can do from within emacs, which were lots of things vim doesn't seem to be capable of doing, things such as SSH'ing to a remote system to open files remotely, fully being capable of handling mail through emacs, being able to use emacs as a web browser as well which is interesting, and other things which were fascinating enough to me. There's also the built-in git functionality, which some people use emacs exclusively to manage their usage of git. The emacs editor really is an Operating System to it's own extent. I really fell in love with the idea of being able to just work all day with nothing but emacs, I have not gotten to that point yet though. Being able to not leave my editor for anything sounds pretty useful if done right.
