   The main problem I have with using emacs as a development/working
   environment is that it isn't multithreaded.  If you try to read news or
   fontify a large buffer, etc, all other work will come to a halt.  Is
   multithreading planned in the next couple of years for (X)Emacs?

That would be nice indeed. However until that time: I have usually a
couple of emacs'es running: One of them does the news and rmail stuff.
The rest is for development. Fontifying is sometimes to slow...
