Consistent navigation and keystroke commands for content/context-appropriate basic operations have really been the foundation of my use of the emacs. Yes, there's an elisp integration to everything and Magit is (perhaps..?) the best git client period, but boy ... For example, I have gotten so much mileage out of M-x comment-region across Java, bash, C++, XML. Using Ctrl-S to inc search a dired buffer in the same way I inc search text. And I was delighted when I first used Eclipse to discover that 90% of the keystroke commands that have become muscle memory (nav, save, multilevel undo, block copy and paste...) are the same. Same with bash of course.
