Editing code is easy; there's myriad editors, including Emacs of course, that can do this. But there aren't many tools to track bibliography, your agenda, email, notes, and writing. But Emacs can easily do all of that, and much more. There is a certain ilk that prefers to tinker with their tools, until they are just the right shape, versus those who learn to compensate for quirks in their tools. Emacs is definitely quirky, but its strength is it handling your manic desire for total workflow integration.
