Emacs is not really a text editor. It's rather a Lisp REPL with a built-in text editor. Everything what makes Emacs so great is because of that. That specifically makes it difficult to compare with other editors or IDEs. But sure, some people complain just for the sake of whining - for them, snow is not white enough, salt doesn't taste salty, sugar ain't sweet and Emacs sucks. Yeah, whatever you say, darling.
