   I have seen spell checkers that work better than emacs.  When it finds
   an erroneous word, it provides the option to suggest alternatives.  If
   you select that option, it rescans the dictionary to find words
   similar in spelling to the word in your text.  This would be a nice
   feature to have in emacs.

   Furthermore, when you type in a replacement spelling, it should let
   you know if the new spelling is in the dictionary, before it asks you
   to confirm.  -David-

No spellchecker can be better than emacs. Emacs is not a spell
checker, but an editor which allows you to write interfaces to
spellcheckers (and to virtually everything else). Chances are one of
the spellcheckers you are refering to is 'ispell' which has most of
the features you ask for. There exists an emacs interface to ispell at
most major emacs lisp ftp sites.
