That, and the power of its keybindings.

I think evil-mode, org-mode, dired, and magit, make a pretty compelling case for Emacs to fit into many programmer's workflows, even if it doesn't displace their code editor or IDE outright.

Though even setting up just those packages requires quite a bit of configuration.
