Roughly 5 years ago I was an Emacs user. I remember I got my first job out of college at a Windows development shop, and I tried to use Emacs for the first couple of weeks, before I had to give in and use Visual Studio like everyone else around me. Being able to actually compile the project from the Project file was kind of a must-have =)

Nowadays I can't really think of a good use for Emacs. I use XCode for C++, Textmate for Python (and some old PHP and Java), MacTex for writing articles...

But man I'd love to use Emacs again and whip out some Elisp!
