Well, I've used VC++, BC++, BCB, and Emacs, and while many features
can be checked off on all the products, those features that I listed
were not nearly as well done in the proprietary IDEs.
Probably. OTOH, features I learned to love
while using IDEs aren't done in Emacs at
all. -- Or in any editor, FTM.

When you don't have a feature, it's easy to get used to alternatives
(by necessity), to the point that when someone likes the missing
feature, it is deemed "unnecessary because I just do...." However, in
most cases once you try the feature, it's hard to go back.
I know.

For example, I wrote a nice little emacs extension that allows me to
jump between source files and headers, and other related files, even
if they're in different directories. [...]
Good. However, if I cared to learn any
scripting language, I could do this in
VS as well. (As I could do it in the BC++
IDE.) So what's your point?
My point, however, is that I never felt
the urge to invest time into coding such
stuff. There's no need to. If you use a
decent IDE it has a good enough project
manager and code browsers that you never
even think of needing this.
