Convince me to use Emacs as a secondary editor

Name: Anonymous 2013-09-21 13:32

As a vim user, I tried going through the tutorial, and I realized Emacs is a fucking shit editor. The whole Emacs thing (not just the editor) enjoys a lot of popularity, so it must be for a reason. It definitely isn't the keyboard shortcuts, so there must be something else.

org-mode? What's so special about it? What features does it have that make it superior notepad.exe?
Specific programming language modes? There must be something really good that outweighs the C-x x M-x crap.
Does remapping Ctrl to Caps Lock really make a difference? Do you still have to press both keys at the same time, or can you do something like Caps Lock, then x?

I'm mainly interested in C, Lithp, Haskell, TeX and FIOC, so I'd also like to know if there's something damn special in Emacs that's worth using over vim. I plan to use Emacs for the ``powerful'' stuff everyone seems to care about. If eshell or the calculators are good enough, I'm fine with only using those.

Emacs is an email client not an editor. Emacs stands for Email Checker System. To use Emacs as an editor the first thing you want to do is abandon it's lisp plugin system so you can write plugins in another language. Start by writing a lisp plugin that forks another plugin system in another language.
