   Anyway.  Emacs is the mother of any development environment I came across so
   far.  The only downside really are its size and thus its sometimes slow loading
   time.

That's why it comes with emacsclient. You are supposed to start just
*one* emacs per computing session, then edit all the rest using
emacsclient resp. multiple frames.

Pretty workable, except if you tend to suspend emacs on text consoles.
