Complex third party code libraries being common place things like
context help, parameter expansion, code completion and at a click
example code are pretty much a must have. Having these things is a huge
boost for many people. It would be a pretty hardened developer who could
program Java, for example, in emacs having experience the helper
facilities in Eclipse (which is a monster it has to be said ;)).
