For me, Emacs is a lot more than a development environment, though it's good for that too. I've written whole books using Emacs as my editor, and it's ability to handle unicode (and thus, foreign scripts) has been a Godsend. I've mentioned a couple of times that I live in Taiwan, and Emacs has great Chinese-input capabilities - superb for editing the html pages on my bilingual website. Kudos to all the folks who have worked on Emacs through the years.
