Think about auto-saving facilities and such.

Indeed it is, and in fact I've not said that.  I've said:

IDEs are more effective than editors for software development ->
Emacs ships as an editor, not as an IDE ->
Building an IDE on top of Emacs is a time-consuming and wheel-
reinventing task ->
Thuse: use an IDE, and effortlessly switch back and forth it and Emacs
if you like.

I don't understand why some Emacs users seem to think that every other
program can be a tool to Emacs, whilst using Emacs as a tool of a more
comprehensive environment is "blasphemy".
