1) Free
2) Cross-platform
3) Powerful
4) Been around a long while
5) Will probably be around a great while longer

Nothing worse than learning a complicated application and getting
good at using it and then finding out it now:

1) Costs Money
2) Is only going to be on one (or a few) platform(s)
3) Is losing all its developers and functionality isn't updated
4) Started with much promise but never caught on
5) Is being shut down by the developers for the next Big Thing(tm)

Mostly I like the idea that the time I took to memorize EMACS
key-combinations and learn about EMACS functionality is time well
spent.  I don't feel like what I know using EMACS will be leap-frogged
significantly any time soon.

Until they have voice-activated artificial-intelligence computer
Agents or possibly a direct-to-the-brain interface,  working with
plain text is going to be the fastest AND most powerful way to deal
with most computing endeavors.  And EMACS is the fastest AND most
powerful editor for dealing with plain text.
