I like emacs because it's powerfull in all the languages that I know.  I 
don't like emacs because it's key binding and user interface is bug 
compatible with design desisions made 10 years ago.  It would be really nice 
to keep the elisp engine from emacs and to put it behind a nice PyQt gui with 
intuitive key-binding for macros :
CTRL-x for kill-region instead of CTRL-w
CTRL-v for yank (paste) instead of CTRL-y
CTRL-s for save ...

emacs do code folding in it's SGML/XML mode so so code folding is doable in 
elisp.  The big win is that you keep you vaforite editor for all the files in 
you project.  The curent project I'm working on use bash, python, C++ and 
some perl.  It would be a total mess to switch my editor all the time.  The 
CVS mode in emacs is nice too.

Does Scintilla support tags ?
