Re: What are Emacs best uses?

[Ken Goldman]

I use it for __text__ editing.  I don't use it for web browsing, pdf or 
image viewing, etc.

For many applications, coding in C, Java, scripting, makefiles, email, 
documentation, ..., there is probably some point tool that works 
slightly better.  But emacs does all of them quite well, and it runs 
everywhere, so you only have to learn one editor.
