I don't use either of the above two things in emacs so I won't comment
on them (but I'm fairly certain autocompletions - aliases in slickedit -
are doable in emacs.

I do use ctags. It's not dynamic like it is with slickedit however
(although I'm sure someone smarter than me could find a hook to make
it so).

I used Slickedit for about 2 and a half years. It has some nice
features for programmers. The things I miss are intellisense and the
dynamic tagging. The things I don't miss are the excruciatingly slow
load times of large workspaces, the occasional crashes,
buggy inconsistencies in tag file creation, the slick-c language, the
performance price you paid for dynamic tagging on large workspaces, and
of course the hefty price tag.
Towards the end of my time with slickedit I was using WTL quite
heavily and the intellisense didn't work well with it, so with the
primary reason I was willing to dish out $$ gone, I decided to learn
Emacs.
I'm quite happy now with Emacs and couldn't see myself ever using any
other editor.
Your mileage may vary of course.
