Yes, of course. Check what M-/ does, and be warned that it is addictive!
Also, if you have ispell installed and you're typing in text-mode (or
derived ones), you can M-Tab to complete the word. (And you'll start
to hate Windows, which gives you NO WAY to stop it from
stealing/robbing this key binding.)
Have you tried w3? I don't use it, as it is really slow. But I like
the way in which I can navigate the page displayed. This is quite
cool when filling in forms, because all the editing capabilities of
Emacs are there at your disposal. (But the UI of Mozilla and Firefox
are approaching such 'friendliness' recently. E.g. starting a search
with "/".)
And if you edit text files (including C/C++/Java/whatever source code,
LaTeX manuscripts, etc.) and you aren't using version control,
consider learning to use RCS or CVS under Emacs. I myself learnt RCS
first under Emacs, well before I got familiar with the RCS command
line. (Emacs has made it much easier to use RCS and CVS than on the
command line.) If you are developing programs, don't miss M-x compile
and M-x gdb or M-x perldb.

I know a vi user who likes to browse Usenet with Gnus+Emacs. I don't
know why. Maybe, Gnus's features are really unparalleled. I myself
am both an Emacs and vi user, switching easily between them every
other minute.
