One of Emacs' strongest points is its ability to nicely integrate things other than "just editing code" into your workflow. As the half-joke goes, it already has a mode for everything. So in that sense, your question kind of comes off as "I only care about basic features that every editor has. What am I missing?" With that said, even if we ignore Magit and Org, and just look at dumb code/text editing, Emacs has some pretty rare niceties. I've gotten used to undo-tree, and now I find it sorely lacking in literally any software that can "undo". The interactive insertion and inspection of unicode characters is also nifty. |

This feature is built in to all JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, WebStorm, PyCharm, etc.), most popular web wikis (Confluence, Notion, etc.), Google's web Office suite, and Microsoft's web office suite. It's available as a plugin for VS Code.
It's also built in to MacOS (Time Machine), Windows (File History), Dropbox, SpiderOak, and Sync, though some of those require it to be enabled and it doesn't work with keyboard shortcuts.

When does this come in handy?
