For the first two years of my undergrad, I used emacs to code projects. I admit I used it in the fashion the author discourages. I opened up a new emacs sessions for every file I wanted to modify. I didn't know all the tricks that emacs offered at the time and even when I did find out I had already switched to vi and didn't feel the need to go back.
During the first part of this chapter, it lists all the different things that emacs can do. I was amazed with all the different functions that emacs has. I had no idea. I just thought it was a powerful text editor. Also with all this functionality, a lot of different developers working on the code, and its age, one would expect it to be a mess at the code level. It is not however. It is just a great testament to how well emacs was designed in the first place that it survived this long and is still under development.
