Yeah, I think there's a spectrum of emacs use, between text editor and IDE (or OS). For a while, I just used it as a handy text editor, and I wouldn't say emacs was an IDE for me then. Now I: - installed autocomplete (with drop-down lists and tooltips) - org-mode is the first daily planner to impact my life - run lint by hitting a button, linked to sourcecode lines - use REPLs - integrate different features naturally (like hyperlinks between my day-planner and sourcecode or a webpage; or hitting a button to clear/reset a bash terminal and restart the program in it) Haven't gotten around to using emacs for email though... When I do, things like org-mode will become even more powerful.
