You're a die-hard emacs user?

While I do use emacs, I wouldn't call myself a die-hard emacs user. Anyway, emacs is not an IDE, so I don't see what this has to do with IDEs.

Emacs can easily be considered an IDE. It handles source-code files well, and integrates with most common build processes, debuggers, and version-control systems. There are also some Emacs extensions which contribute additional IDE-like features:

http://cedet.sourceforge.net/ - Collection of Emacs Development Environment Tools
http://ecb.sourceforge.net/ - Emacs Code Browser

Emacs not an IDE? What criteria do you use to distinguish it from an IDE?
