Most of the historic reason for using emacs was support for
multiple buffers and their never-having-to-leave-your-editor
mentality. Most of that has been subsumed by more recent vi-
derived code. Today you can have most of the fetures (depending
on whether you call scheme a feature or not) from vi's as from
emacs.

At that point it boils down largely to whether you prefer a
modal editor (vi) or not (emacs or X11 gui) editors.
