I talked to someone about the extensibility of emacs, but the person I was speaking to assumed that any IDE is just as extensible by using Plug Ins.

Without turning the conversation into a university style lecture, what is one or two simple actions I can do in emacs to show someone what separates it from other IDES.

    Not the best person to answer - glanced the replies, and seeing people who seem very articulate so definitely read their points of view.

    My personal thought is being a “literate programmer” - I should be able to understand what my tools are doing and how it affects things. If I spend to much time with plugins - I sort of miss exactly what they do. With emacs - I have the code and I have a community.
