Thats exactly my point, theyve written all the various features you might have to write yourself, and theyve integrated them for you.

guess it's a tradeoff. if what you want is common enough, it's quite possible it'll already have been written. if not, you may have to write elisp yourself.

but, if what you're working on is not common, maybe there isn't a (good) IDE either.
