I think the Emacs as OS feeling particularly rings true for those using Windows. It certainly makes Windows a lot more usable for me. With dynamic languages the ability to run REPL inside an editor is also a huge plus. In Emacs the way you can interact with text is pretty much unlimited. For example, with the right modes you can pretty much free form evaluate any expression anywhere in the editor. One has to use it to experience the power.
