Why would you learn Emacs if you do only C# or other MS technologies and have already mastered VS.And that was exactly what my comment was about. Emacs is the best general purpose tool that you can tweak to your needs and make it also superior in things of your choosing. VS works well what it was designed for.

Also as an Emacs user working on Windows I have to tell you that Emacs experience and performance is sadly subpar compared to OSX or Linux.

Why would you learn only one set of technology? I suppose that's my main issue.

As for emacs, have you tried Cygwin? I've heard it improves things.
