What makes Emacs a great editor for a Lisp programmer?

Question

Whenever I look at the editor for Lisp, Emacs inevitably appears. From the point of view of a person who did not look very much at Emacs, what makes it different from things like Vim, Eclipse, etc.?

Answer 1

Emams Slam mode interacts with a “lower” lisp for a better lisp experience: Emacs will request lisp for:

• id completion
• documentation
• testing your new code
• Debugging
• object check.

The fact that Emacs was written by the lisp hacker makes the part specially written for lisp especially well-tuned.

Emacs or some of its modes may not provide as many advantages as other modern IDEs in the field of intellisense or project management, but when it comes to editing the text of the code, this modern IDE remains to be explored :)
