I don't use emacs for everything, but it's very good for some things.
It's a great file manager and editor.  I used to prefer jed as my
editor, but recently discovered emacs highlights .foorc files,
something jed doesn't.  OTOH, I don't like gnus over slrn.  I've been
told a million times it can be configured to do everything slrn can,
and more.  But, I'm not into spending 12.8% of my remaining lifetime
learning how.  And what's with xemacs?  I downloaded and discovered
all the usual apps I was expecting are now optional add ons requiring
more time scaling the curve to learn how.  Not now.  Maybe later.  

nb ...oh, btw.... yep, every day!
