I use emacs every day and while it's technically true that emacs can do email and web, the experience is awful. Emacs is great but it's not a panacea. There are some tasks for which it is ill-suited.

Sure, but I think it's by far the best solution in general to a multitude of tasks in a world that's increasingly GUI centric. Generally mouse based interfaces are poor for the blind. Sure if you find a piece that does a particular task in a blind friendly way go for it, but being a part of the modern world is easier with emacs+emacs speak than any other single tool I know of.

> email Back when I used email a lot every day for my job, I did all of my email processing in emacs. I'm somewhere else now in a different role, for this I use outlook because it was provided and it is unilaterally worse. The search is worse, the usability is worse and the speed is worse. What exactly about it is awful? > web Yes, the web experience is very bad. No argument there :)
