Much like some of the other Vim users who've commented here, all I can say is, "So what?" I don't know if I'd call this "power user". Unless I'm mistaken (going on replicating this functionality in Vim), any beginner with a bit of determination and a browser can download and configure plugins to resemble this somewhat. Now, it's highly possible that this guy is very proficient at using Emacs, but I'd have preferred a screen cast on the _editing_ features of Emacs over replicating TextMate. For example, I would love to see someone re-do some of the bigger coding screen casts (such as the Ruby on Rails blog engine one) using Emacs. It has the potential to not be useful--I know my Vim configuration is different from the standard and that there are a wide variety of ways to do things, but it might be enlightening to someone like me. I have to say, aesthetics make a big difference to me. I liked the icons in the project pane (though, with a mouse? Really?) and all, but that environment was far too spartan--uhh, ugly--for me. I use MacVim, and with a bit of color scheme tweaking, a nice font etc. etc. I have a pleasing environment to work in. Note I know you can do the same in Emacs, but the point was MacVim--it's the pretty scroll bars, the OS X anti-aliasing and all that makes it nice. I can't use Vim in a terminal for long periods of time. Obviously, this is definitely just me.
