I completly disagree.

Emacs is an editor, the finest  one. Oh, by the way, it's programmable
in the  same language used to build  it. This leaves the  door open to
the most strange uses of a text editor, a thing that pleases hackers.

Integrated   envirnonment  usually  lack   the  elegance   and  simple
extensibility of  Emacs while  all the extensions  are both a  sort of
editing and a very useful complement to editing.
