I use emacs for most of my text inputting needs. Sometimes I even use it to type in web forms (prepare it in emacs and copy the text over into the form). I'm typing now. Hence, I'm using emacs. It's great that I don't have to settle for less. No matter what I'm typing, M-$ spell-checks the word under the cursor. No matter what I'm typing, M-x picture-mode allows me to draw a picture in ASCII graphics. And C-x ( starts a macro -- immensely useful in many circumstances. Emacs also works over text terminal connections. I use it all the time to access virtual machines at the office as well as my home machine from overseas.
